Abstract EN
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a rare afferent infectious disease in Japan.
This paper reports a case of a hepatic cyst being diagnosed after surgical resection.
A 40-year-old Syrian male was admitted for evaluation of a hepatic cyst.
Serum antibodies of echinococcosis were negative.
Enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a large cystic lesion, 9 cm in diameter, in the left lateral sector of the liver, which had many honeycomb-like septa and calcified lesions.
Magnetic resonance imaging of this lesion revealed high intensity in the T2 weighted image.
We preoperatively diagnosed this lesion as cystadenocarcinoma or CE and performed a left hepatectomy.
Pathological examination revealed the presence of protoscolices in the fluid of the cysts and led to a diagnosis of this lesion as CE.
In conclusion, on seeing patients with huge hepatic cysts who come from an epidemic area, we should consider hepatic CE.
