Morocco is an endemic country for both pleural tuberculosis and hydatid cysts. The coexistence of these two conditions in the lung is rare, especially in the same lesion. In this article, we report the case of a lung hydatid cyst associated with tuberculosis infection, diagnosed by pleural biopsy. We report this case as a reminder that such an association exists and should be borne in mind, especially in endemic countries.
