Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a diagnostic challenge
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.

Treatment options for hepatic cystic echinococcosis [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005 A number of surgical and non-surgical options exist to treat cystic echinococcosis of the liver. For decades, surgical excision via a conservative or radical approach was the recommended approach for hepatic hydatid cysts. The availability of chemotherapeutic agents with significant activity against Echinococcus granulosis has made it possible to ...

Hepatic echinococcosis: A review. [PDF]
Ann Med Surg (Lond), 2018 Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm and transmitted by dogs. E. granulosus are common parasites in certain parts of the world, and are present on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.
