Pulmonary hydatid disease is a rare parasitic disease in Australia with few reported cases. The mainstay of treatment in pulmonary hydatid disease is surgical resection followed by medical treatment with benzimidazoles to reduce the risk of recurrence. We present a case of successful resection of a large primary pulmonary hydatid cyst via minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach in a 65-year-old gentleman with incidental hepatopulmonary hydatid disease.
