It is a real public health problem in the world by its frequency, morbidity, and its potential mortality. This work is a retrospective study, which was carried out on 15 patients with hydatid cyst of the liver complicated, admitted between 2012 and 2015 at the department of general surger...

Because hydatidosis of the bone (echinococcus infection) is a rare parasitic infection, its diagnosis and treatment poses great difficulties. Radiologic imaging findings are generally helpful to make the diagnosis. But occurrence of disease in atypical places and lack of specific radiological findings may complicate differential diagnosis. Nevertheless, familiarity with imaging findings in pati...

A completely asymptomatic 60-year-old man presented for a preventive calcium score screening. ECG-gated non–contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography showed a noncalcified hypodense oval mass in the right ventricle with a spontaneously hyperdense wall measuring 19×17 mm (Figure 1A).
