Abstract:
A 45-year-old man was referred with symptoms of cough and chest pain for 3 days and small amount of hemoptysis. He had no history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Chest CT showed 2 cystic lesions with air fluid level in right lower lobe. We performed posterior basal segmentectomy and found 2 cysts with white long parasite in each cavity. We experienced a case of pulmonary sparganosis and report it with references.
