Abstract

Three children with a total of six primary pulmonary hydatid cysts, all of whom underwent surgical management, are presented. Of these six hydatid cysts, two were treated with thoracotomy with cyst enucleation and capittonage, three with thoracoscopy-assisted minithoracotomy with enucleation and capittonage, and one with limited resection.
