Abstract
A 29-year-old woman with right chest pain was admitted for radiographic inv estigation and found to have a round mass in the right lower zone. This was initially suspected to be a hydatid lung cyst but was confirmed as a cysti c mass by computed tomography and duly excised. Histologic examination reve aled an amniotic fluid embolism. The patient had had a stillbirth three mon ths earlier.
