Abstract :
We report a very rare case of Pleural hydatid cyst in a known case of pulmonary tuberculosis which presented as discharging wound of the chest wall resulting due to intercostal drain insertion misdiagnosing it as tubercular effusion/empyema. This is a very unusual presentation of such cases. Patient was treated by thoracotomy with evacuation of the cyst. Patient recovered in four weeks time and was discharged with anti tuberculosis and anti–parasitic treatment. This case emphasizes the importance of suspicion in concomitant disease in endemic areas for echinococcosis and tuberculosis.
