SUMMARY
The analysis of 31 opereted cases with pulmoner hydatit disease
Echinococcus disease is endemic to many sheep and cattle raising areas of the world. Hydatid disease of the lung is also rather widespread in Turkey. The clinical course of 31 patients operated on from 2 May 1979 to 23 September 1987, was reviwed. There were no operative deaths and we had no recurrence of echinococci in these patients. Chemotherapy (mebendazole) was used postoperatively only in 4 cases and they were disseminated nonresectable small lesions besides surgically accessible cyst that had been excissed.
