We present a case of a foreign body in lung parenchyma, found incidentally during surgery in an adult woman. The clinical and radiological findings were consistent with a pulmonary hydatid cyst. Owing to the similar clinical and radiological appearances, a thoracotomy was required for the correct diagnosis of a sunflower seed mimicking hydatid disease.
