Abstract
Cyst hydatid is a parasitic disease seen as hydatid cysts in primarly lung and liver. Although hydatid cysts may remain as asymptomatic during a long time, they may become a symptomatic depending on the rupture and pyogenic infection. The incidence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in endemic areas ranges from 1-220 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while the incidence of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) ranges from 0.03-1.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, making it a much more rare form of echinococcosis. Infestation with E vogeli is the rarest form of echinococcosis and is reported mainly in the southern parts of South America. With this case, we aimed that both review the literature data and reawaken the requirement of family scanning in close relatives, because of pulmonary, hepatic and splenic involvements are coexist in this case.

Özet
Kist hidatik primer olarak karaciğer ve akciğerde görülen parazitik bir hastalıktır. Hidatik kistler uzunca bir süre asemptomatik kalabilmelerine rağmen, rüptür ya da piyojenik infeksiyona bağlı olarak semptomatik olabilirler. Endemik bölgelerde kistik echicoccosis (CE) insidansı 100.000 kişide 1-220 arasında değişirken, alveolar echicoccosis (AE) insidansı 0.03-1.2'dir ve bu oranlar Echinoccosis‘in nadir olduğunu gösterir. E. vogeli ile infestasyonlar, Echinococcosis'in nadir formudur ve genellikle Güney Amerika'nın güney bölgelerinde bildirilmektedir. Bu olguyla, pulmoner, hepatik ve splenik tutulumları olan bir hastada yakın akrabaların inceleme gerekliliği ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Summary
Cyst hydatid is a parasitic disease be seen as hydatid cysts in primarly lung and liver. Although that hydatid cysts may be remain as asymptomatic during a long time, they may become a symptomatic depending on the rupture and pyogenic infection. With this case, we aimed that both review the literature data and reawaken the requirement of family scanning in close relatives, because of pulmonary, hepatic and splenic involvements are coexist in this case.
Cyst hydatid is a infection generated by larva of echinococcus granulosus parasite (or the phase namely metasestode). While the infection shows mainly liver involvement and secondly lung involvement in adults. The spawn of E.Granulosus, which ingested by intermediate host in contaminant foods and beverages, is opened in bowel; freed oncosphere come to liver, exceeding wall of bowel via blood and lymph circulation. While %50-70 all of cases presents liver location, secondly lung echinococcosis has been seening at rate of %20-30. The case of splenic cyst hydatid has been seening at rate of %2-3. Cyst hydatid presents symptom according to involved organ. In this case report, hepatic, pulmonary and splenic cyst hydatic case with nonspesific symptoms such as cough, chest pain, hemoptysis, abdominal pain reflecting to left shoulder and fever and have radiologically suspected chest radiography, was presented with US and CT imaging, thereby reviewing literatures.
