Abstract

Pulmonary echinococcosis is a rare disease in Taiwan and has never been reported in Taiwan's literatures. Here we report an overseas Chinese from Calcutta, India, presenting with recurrent hemoptysis and chest pain and with two big lung masses on chest roentgenogram. Rupture and spike fever ensured after fine needle aspiration of the cysts. Successful surgical intervention was obtained and echinococcal infection was documented pathologically.
