Hydatid disease is endemic in Turkey. Although the most common placement of this disease is in the liver and lungs in the form of a hydatid cyst, it can present in atypical localizations. Mediastinal hydatid cysts are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no case reported of a mediastinal hydatid cyst in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patient. Herein, we present to a case with a mediastinal cyst who was successfully treated with cystectomy

Keywords: Hydatidosis, echinococcal disease, mediastinal hydatic cyst, HIV-positive, cystectomy
