    Cystic echinococcosis is parasitic disease due to the larval stage of the metacestode Echinococcus granulosus in the liver (80%), lungs, kidneys, spleen, myocardium etc. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts. Diagnosis is based on laboratory and imaging studies. Treatment is multimodal, surgical and medical. Risks for dangerous complications and relapses are quite common. Adequate follow-up is needed.
