AB  - Introduction: Hydatidosis is an important pathology with endemic character in Romania. Primitive and secondary thoracic forms are very frequently in the thoracic surgery services. Ocasionaly, we find forms with unusually debut and evolution.Clinical features: The work presents the case of the patient with right nephrectomy for an idiopathic renal abscess, who was addressed to our service for a chystic tumor of the posterior thoracic wall.Lab and imagistic studies: On blood examination, the total leucocyte count was 11000 cells UL-1, with 2% eosinophilis. The CT scan indicated a tumor of the thoracic wall with mixed density which stretched between the angle of the scapula and the eight-nine costovertebral articulation without pulmonary touching and without intraabdominal or retroperitoneal collections.Surgery: We made a posterior approach with a vertical incision in the right interscapulovertebral region. Intraoperatory, we find multiple hydatid cysts, with different dimension, who were localized in muscle of the wall thoracic and who arrived in the lumbar region. After inactivation with alcohol we excised the cysts and the the pericysts and we apllied a drainage of the restant space.Postoperative outcomes: The postoperatory evolution was very good with decharge of the patient in 5 days and with medical traitement.
