He was suffering from cough and dyspnoea since two weeks. Chest radiograph revealed an opaque right hemithorax with signs of volume loss and compensatory hyperinflation of the left lung for which an intercostal tube was put; multiple cysts were found draining through the tube. Ultrasonography was done to confirm which revealed multiple cysts located in the posterior right hemithorax and liver.
