case_images: (A) Chest CT. Left lower lobe: A round, heterogeneous, hypodense image is denoted with a hyperdense halo, measuring 52 x 64 x 81 mm. Suggestive of a cyst. Bilateral diffuse ground glass opacity pattern observed in the lungs. (B) Abdominal Ultrasound: The liver is in a normal position with preserved echogenicity. A cyst-like lesion is observed in segment VIII, containing echogenic membranes, measuring 23 x 21 x 20 mm, and appearing avascular. Consistent with hydatid cyst.

case_images: Consequently, it was decided to proceed with a chest CT (CCT), which revealed a cavitary lesion in the left inferior lobe, suggestive of complicated pneumonia with a lung abscess (Figure 1A). The previous CCT was reassessed, and an abdominal ultrasound revealed a cystic liver lesion (Figure 1B), suggesting hydatid disease.
