Direct radiography shows a radiopaque appearance in the right lower zone of the lung in the paracardial region and the left lower zone of the lung. The homogeneous opacity increase (arrows) pushed on the intestinal loops (A). An axial thoracic computed tomography (CT) mediastinal section shows a cyst in the right middle lobe (arrow) compressing the right atrium and a giant hydatid cyst filling the lower lobe of the left lung (B). An abdominal CT section shows a giant hydatid cyst with similar characteristics in the liver (C).
