Abstract

An atypical form of a pulmonary hydatid cyst is described. This was a solitary super-infected pseudo-tumoral cyst and the membrane was incarcerated which has enabled us to propose as a description for this new morphological aspect of a cyst, with a filled margin of the proliferative membrane. We propose the term "Rosebud".
