Primary mediastinal hydatid cysts
Hydatid cysts are a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, and 0.5 to 2.6% of all hydatid cysts are in the mediastinum. In this study, we presented primary mediastinal hydatid cysts. All patients underwent chest X-ray and thoracic computed tomography (CT), and only one patient underwen...
