Abstract :Hydatid disease is one of parasitic diseases that had an ancient history. This disease is most commonly observed in the liver but can occur in all tissues and organs except keratinized tissues. The most involvement of the disease is observed in lung for inthrathoracic cases. The intrathoracic extrapulmonary disease is quite rare. Our case was 24 years old, female and she had hydatid cyst in the pleural cavity that is very rare and was not associated with lung or liver. That was thought that cyst was in the liver before surgery with radiological examination. After laparotomy we have detected the absence of abdominal cyst and found that the cyst was in the pleural cavity. We may be mistaken for the cyst that was associated with liver or lung preoperatively by radiological investigations in such a rare localization of the cyst. In such cases, you need to make a very careful assessment during surgery. It is also very important to determine the appropriate type of surgery
