Hydatid cyst related-pulmonary embolism is an uncommon condition. We admitted an 81-year-old woman to our hospital with chest pain. A multi-detector computed tomography of the chest showed an oval, cystic filling defect, containing daughter cysts, causing vessel enlargement within the right main pulmonary artery and its lobar and segmental branches. Three giant hydatid cyst lesions in the right lobe of the liver adjacent to the inferior vena cava with daughter cysts were detected using the abdominal ultrasonography. Hydatid cyst-related pulmonary embolism should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients who have chest pain and hepatic hydatidosis.

Kist hidatikle iliþkili pulmoner emboli nadir görülen bir hastalýktýr. Seksen bir yaþýnda kadýn hasta göðüs aðrýsý ile hastaneye baþvurdu. Multidetektör bilgisayarlý tomografide lober ve segmenter dallarý ile birlikte sað ana pulmoner arterde damar geniþlemesine neden olan kýz vesiküller içeren oval þekilde kistik dolum defekti saptandý. Abdominal ultrasonografide karaciðer sað lobunda vena cava inferiora komþu kýz veziküller içeren dev tip üç hidatik kist olduðu gözlendi. Kist hidatiðin yaygýn olduðu ülkelerde göðüs aðrýsý ile baþvuran hastada hepatik hidatik kist de saptanmýþsa, kist hidatik iliþkili pulmoner emboli mutlaka ayýrýcý tanýda akla getirilmelidir.
