ABSTRACT
We present an extremely rare case of a old man 52 answith hydatid pulmonary embolism caused by a direct invasion of the pulmonary artery by a hydatid cyst. Even if it is a benign parasitic disease, it can lead to serious complications such as arterial, systemic, or multivisceral dissemination or being responsible for an anaphylactic shock. Because of the clinical polymorphism, the diagnosis can be delayed. Therefore, A chest CT angiography is the gold standard for the positive diagnosis.
