    Abstract:
    In most cases of echinococcal disease the liver is the mainly affected organ. The clinical manifestations are defined by the size and the localization of the hydatid cyst. The appearance of complications, such as purulence and rupture of the cyst, aggravate the patients' clinical condition. Intrabiliary rupture, although rare, carries severe health risks; timely diagnosis and appropriate management of this entity are vital for the patient's survival.
