Multi-organ echinococcosis: a case report

Alireza Soleimani, Zahra Bayat

Abstract

Nowadays, the diagnosis of echinococcus infection with multiple organs involvement is not frequent in clinical practice. We report the case of a 35- year-old woman admitted to the Imam Khomeini Hospital with simultaneous liver and lung cysts. In endemic areas, work up of echinococcal infection should be considered when a patient presents with cystic lesions of multiple organs.
