Radical resection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis combined with cystic echinococcosis: A case report

Abstract

Rationale: Hepatic Echinococcosis, is a zoonotic Parasitic disease with a worldwide distribution. Clinical cases of alveolar echinococcosis combined with cystic echinococcosis infection are extremely rare. Patient concerns: A 58-year-old patient had found liver occupying lesions for more than 2 years. A left hepatic alveolar hydatid was found, occupying the entire left half of the liver, with a size of approximately 6.7 cm × 10.9 cm × 8.1 cm. The size of the right liver is about 9 × 8 cm cystic hydatid, mainly located in the S5 segment of the liver. Abdominal examination: the upper abdomen is swollen, and a hard mass can be touched under the right rib margin, with tenderness and no rebound pain. The bowel sounds are normal. Diagnoses: Abdominal MR shows an increase in liver volume and irregular morphology, with patchy abnormal signal shadows visible in the left lobe of the liver, with a range of approximately 6.7 cm × 10.9 cm × 8.1 cm, low signal on T1WI, low signal on T2WI and FS-T2WI, slightly high signal on diffusion weighted imaging, high signal on apparent diffusion coefficient, no significant enhancement of the lesion after enhancement. In addition, there is a clump like abnormal signal shadow visible in the right lobe of the liver, with a size of approximately 7.9 cm × 7.3 cm × 7.9 cm, low signal on T1WI, mixed high signal on T2WI, high signal on diffusion weighted imaging, mixed signal on apparent diffusion coefficient. Consider: Left lobe alveolar echinococcosis, and right lobe cystic echinococcosis (CE III type). Interventions: A radical resection was performed, including expanded left hemi-hepatectomy, cholecystectomy, right hepatic lesion resection, partial right hepatic duct resection with right hepatic duct jejunostomy. Outcomes: The wound healed well after resection. There was no recurrence of TC after 4 years follow-up. Lessons: The co-infection of alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis in a patient is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Radical resection is the only curative treatment.
