  "abstract": "A 19-year-old female presented with complaints of cough, dyspnoea and chest pain, which had been ongoing for approximately 2 weeks. On physical examination, the patient was afebrile and haemodynamically stable. Laboratory investigations revealed normal eosinophil counts and inflammatory markers, including C reactive protein. She lived in a village where small ruminant farming was practised and her family did not keep dogs. The patient’s medical history did not include trauma, smoking, alcohol consumption, travel history, previous tuberculosis or an immunosuppressive disease. Plain chest X-ray revealed well-defined consolidated areas in the right lower zone. MRI was performed for this young female patient to avoid radiation exposure and findings consistent with daughter vesicles were identified (figure 1). Specifically, T2-weighted coronal MRI showed a well-circumscribed, multicystic lesion with hyperintense fluid and hypointense septations. To confirm primary diaphragmatic involvement and rule out hepatic disease, an abdominal ultrasound was performed which revealed a completely normal liver. ELISA serology detected specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus.",
