Özet

Cystic echinococcosis, caused by the larval stage (metacestode) of Echinococcus granulosus, is endemic in sheep raising areas and is among the most neglected diseases. Once ingested, parasitic eggs may penetrate intestine and settled via portal circulation to whole body especially to liver and lung as being major filtering organs. Our case is a interesting case, because of presenting multiple cysts in different regions of the body. With Albendazol treatment, some radiologic regression was shown, but also perforation of some hydatid cysts, surgery was needed for treatment.
