Hi Shloka, I appreciate your comments but I don't want others to get biased because of your answer so I have hidden your response. Thanks for being a regular visitor.

hydatid cyst with daughter cyst

I promise the solution and a new quiz this weekend.

Dr Madhukar April 3, 2009 11:27 AM  

this is a intrabronchial rupture hydatid cyst of the right lobe of liver

primary lung hydatids are quite rare though they can occur
there is air within the cyst so it is definitely ruptured.
by the way,in due course this will resolve without any further traetment[barring secondary infection] as cysts are coughed out!
