Alveolar hydatid disease is a highly malignant form of echinococcosis caused by the larvae of the cestode echinococcus multilocularis. Alveolar hydatid disease always affects the liver and can metastasise to the lung and brain. Early diagnosis and precise evaluation of the localization as well as the extent of lesions are essential for treatment. In this report, we present ultrasound and compu...
متن کاملAlveolar echinococcosis of the liver: MR findings.
Nineteen cases of proven hepatic alveolar echinococcosis were examined by magnetic resonance (MR) and the results were compared with CT. Fibrous and parasitic tissue showed low signal both on T1- and, generally, on T2-weighted images. In a few cases a high signal on T2-weighted images may be observed, due either to central necrotic zones or to small peripheral cysts. Central necrosis was more e...
متن کاملLiver alveolar echinococcosis metastasized to the breast.
BACKGROUND Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a potentially fatal and chronically progressive infestation produced by the multivesicular metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis, which most commonly affects the liver, lungs, and brain. CASE REPORT We present a case of AE in which an alveolar cyst, as a result of exophytic growth, adhered to intra-abdominal and pelvic organs and metastasized to...
متن کاملRadical Robot-Assisted Liver Resection for Alveolar Echinococcosis
Introduction: Radical surgery is the only curative method for liver alveolar echinococcosis (AE). To date, there is no information about the efficacy of laparoscopy including robot-assisted liver resection in radical treatment of AE. This is a case report of a robot-assisted radical liver resection for AE. Case Description: A 51-year-old man was admitted to the clinic with complaints of weaknes...
متن کاملAlveolar echinococcosis of the liver: sequelae of chronic inferior vena cava obstructions in the hepatic segment.
BACKGROUND The clinical pattern and long-term course of chronic inferior vena cava (IVC) obstructions are variable and depend on the underlying cause, the segment involved, and the extension of secondary thrombosis. Pertinent data on IVC obstructions in well-defined series of patients are lacking. We report the sequelae of chronic IVC obstructions in the hepatic segment in 11 consecutive patien...
