Abstract
Hydatid disease or echinococcosis is fairly common worldwide and is endemic along the Mediterranean. It is still a serious health problem in Libya, where it is endemic. It commonly involves the liver and lungs. We report an unusual presentation of this common disease. The interest of this case lies in its rarity and huge size at presentation.
Keywords: Hydatid disease, Echinococcosis
