Is It Time to Abandon the Absolute Contraindication to FNAC in Pulmonary Hydatid Cysts? A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This report challenges the historical belief that fine‐needle aspiration (FNAC) is absolutely contraindicated in suspected pulmonary hydatid cysts. By a case of successful diagnosis without anaphylaxis and a systematic review of the literature, we show that with modern image guidance and precautions, the risk may be lower than traditionally thought.

Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.
