Hydatid cyst commonly affects liver followed by lung, but rarely affects both organs simultaneously. Here we presented a patient who presented with concurrent involvement of both lungs and liver. Concomitant pulmonary and liver hydatid cysts occur in 4% to 25% of patients with echinococcosis. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging can recognise certain details of the lesions and discover others that are not visible by conventional radiography. For a specific serologic diagnosis, our experience favours the immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoelectrophoresis. Four treatment options are currently available: radical surgery, conservative surgery, puncture-aspiration-injection-respiration (PAIR), and anti parasitic medical treatment. Surgery is gold standard for liver hydatid cyst and can be done by open/laparoscopic approach. The prognosis has changed during the last few years, and results are now commonly satisfactory. Operative mortality does not exceed 1% to 2%.
