Treatment of Complicated Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis Disease With Suspicious Lymph Node Remote Metastasis Near the Inferior Vena Cava-Abdominal Aorta: A Case Report and Literature Review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Echinococcosis is a human-animal parasitic disease caused by Echinococcosis tapeworm larvae in humans. From a global perspective, it is mainly prevalent in the mid-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, and it is a widespread infectious disease.

Disseminated Alveolar Echinococcosis.

Albanian Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2021
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. In humans, E. alveolaris metacestode cells proliferate in the liver inducing a hepatic disorder that mimics liver cancer and can spread to other organs.
