Hydatid cyst is a common occurrence at endemic regions all over the world. Pulmonary hydatid cysts occur commonly. Atypical presentation is seen rarely where the cyst is not found in the lung parenchyma but in the pleura or mediastinum. We report a rare type of intrathoracic extra pulmonary hydatid cyst.
