Abstract
Hydatid disease is one of the most widespread and endemic infections causing a substantial health and economic burden. The liver and lungs remain the most affected viscera. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with an atypical presentation: a hydatid cyst of the liver with a massive extension to the mediastinum through the esophagus hiatus. This patient underwent a single-stage surgical session to treat the mediastinal and abdominal parts of the cyst through a unique thoracic route.
