Obtaining an accurate diagnosis of this cystic lesion is only possible by radiological examination. An uncomplicated intact simple cyst in an early phase could be easily and precisely diagnosed by chest roentgenogram and computed tomography scan of the thorax. Complicated late cases may have confusing and challenging atypical radiological signs. In this case report, we report a giant pulmonary hydatid cyst (13 x 8 x 12 cm) with atypical radiological findings in a 4-year-old girl who was hospitalized with fever and cough and was treated with oral antibiotics for pneumonia.</p>}, number={12}, journal={Journal of Surgery and Medicine}, author={Alıcı , Umut and Oztunali , Çiğdem and Alıcı , Çigdem Arslan and Ilhan , Huseyin and Tokar , Baran}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={1010–1012} }
