Conclusion:
The pulmonary artery involvement by hydatid cyst was limited to case
reports. In this case we reported a primary isolated extraluminal
hydatid cyst arising from pulmonary artery with progressive dyspnea due
to compression of cyst on pulmonary artery. Regarding the pandemic and
symptoms that mimicked COVID-19, the patient was misdiagnosed as
COVID-19 infection. However extraluminal hydatid cyst of pulmonary
artery is extremely rare, it should be considered as a probable
differential diagnoses in similar cases.
