摘要
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 repot, We present ultrasound and computed tomography findings in a patient with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. The patient, who was presented with hepatomegaly, jaundice, and an infiltrative Solid tumor, diagnosed by ultrasound and-computed-tomography. In contrast to hydatid cyst caused by echinococcus granulosus, this is a rare disease in Iran.
