Radiological and surgical findings. (a, b) Thoracic imaging at the time of diagnosis showing a liquid cyst; (c, d) thoracic imaging right before surgery showing a decrease in cystic volume, air within the cyst, and pericystic thickening; (e) ultrasound of the lung cyst carried out during the hospitalization before surgery showing the complex US structure of the cyst, with the “ball of wool sign”; (f, g) intraoperative findings showing the thoracotomic approach and the shreds of pericyst requiring careful dissection.
