The authors present the experience of the Clinic for Thoracic Surgery of Bucharest, based on a total of 1206 cases of patients operated for hydatic cysts. An original classification is presented, of human hydatidosis, the indications of surgical treatment are stressed, namely the evacuation of the hydatic membrane with the peri-cystic tissue, even in cases of evacuated and suppuratec cysts--the authors objecting to the pulmonary resection in cases of hydatic cysts. The authors have performed simultaneous bilateral interventions, associated or not with phrenotomy, in bilateral and hepatic localizations. In the paper is also presented a new procedure (introduced by Prof. C. Coman) for the total extirpation of the hydatic membrane, a simple procedure which practically prevents effraction of the cyst. On the other hand the results confirm the efficiency of the procedure, very good results being obtained in 98,8% of the cases.

Background: Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larvae of the Echinococcus tapeworm. It is endemic in various regions worldwide, particularly in rural areas of countries in southern South America, Central Asia, China, parts of Africa, the Mediterranean, and parts of the Middle East. The disease primarily affects the liver (60-70% of cases) and the lungs (10-25% of cases), but it can involve any organ, including the brain, bones, and rarely the pelvic region, as seen in our case report.

Article Synopsis
- A 46-year-old male patient presented with a painful lump in his breast, which had been persistent for a year, raising suspicions of hydatid disease.
- This case is notable because hydatid disease of the breast in males hasn't been previously documented, though similarities in imaging features to female cases were observed, particularly the "water-lily" sign on ultrasound.
- The successful preoperative diagnosis through fine-needle aspiration cytology and histopathology emphasized the importance of considering hydatid disease in suspicious breast masses, helping avoid unnecessary imaging.
