Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]
Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2011 We report a case of alveolar echinococcosis involving the liver in a 61-year-old male. Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare chronic and progressive disease, which can involve mostly liver and in rare cases lung and brain.

Collateral circulation caused by end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023 Background Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), as a benign parasitic disease with malignant infiltrative activity, grows slowly in the liver, allowing sufficient time for collateral vessels to emerge in the process of vascular occlusion.

Kidney invasion occurred 2 years following liver transplantation for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a case report [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023 Background The organ most commonly invaded in echinococcosis is the liver; the lungs, brain, kidneys, heart, and spleen are rarely invaded, and multi-organ involvement in echinococcosis is even rarer.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy for the treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis [PDF]
Parasite, 2021 Background: At present, laparoscopy is relatively mature as a minimally invasive technique, but there are few reports on this approach for the radical treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE).

Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis in Cynomolgus Monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2004 Alveolar echinococcosis was diagnosed in 12 cynomolgus monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis) at postmortem examination within a period of 6 years. Besides consistent involvement of the liver, parasitic lesions were also present in mesenteric lymph nodes, pancreas, lung, and kidney.

Histopathological assessment of the viability of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis
HistopathologyAimsInfections by the larval stage of the tape worms Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus s.l. are potentially fatal zoonoses affecting humans as dead‐end hosts. Histopathological evaluation of hepatic echinococcosis is an integral part of patient management, including the distinction between alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis ...

Laparoscopic resection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: A single-center experience
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 Introduction Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) remains a very rare disease requiring complete radical resection for curative treatment. While open approaches are common, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resections remain unknown. Methods This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study with patients undergoing liver resection for hepatic AE at the ...
