An unusual case of hepatic hydatidosis complicated by transphrenic migration of the hydatid cyst passing through the right hemidiaphragm, and penetrating the inferior pulmonary lobe causing a bronchial fistula, is presented. The computed tomographic (CT) study permitted the correct preoperative diagnosis.
