Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) represent a rare group of neoplastic lesions characterized by a diverse clinical presentation. Endobronchial involvement is infrequently reported, and its manifestation mimicking the symptoms of a ruptured hydatid cyst adds an additional layer of complexity to the diagnostic challenge. This case report delves into an exceptional clinical scenario where an endobronchial IMT masqueraded as a ruptured hydatid cyst, initially confounding the diagnostic team. Through a detailed examination of the patient's clinical history, radiological imaging, bronchoscopy findings and subsequent histopathological analysis, we aim to contribute to the existing medical literature and shed light on the nuances encountered in accurately identifying and differentiating these two entities.

Hydatid disease, caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus species, poses a significant public health challenge, especially in resource-limited cattle-producing areas of South America. The number of cases in children under the age of 15 is nearly 16% of the total cases in South America according to the latest report of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The presentation of the disease depends on the anatomic location and correlates with the parasitic life stage.
