Alveolar hydatid disease is a highly malignant form of echinococcosis caused by the larvae of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis. Alveolar hydatid disease always affects the liver and can metastasise to the lungs and brain. The case reports describe the radiological features of alveolar hydatid disease of the lung caused by E. multilocularis. Multiple nodules which varied in size and shape were seen on CXR, CT showed most nodules to be lobulated, well circumscribed and of varying shape. Multiple lobulated lesions located between two segments of the lung and of varying shape appear to be characteristic of pulmonary alveolar hydatid disease caused by E. multilocularis.
肺泡型包虫病是由多房棘球绦虫幼虫引起的一种高度恶性的棘球蚴病。肺泡型包虫病常累及肝脏，并可转移至肺和脑。这些病例报告描述了由多房棘球绦虫引起的肺肺泡型包虫病的影像学特征。胸部X线片上可见大小和形状各异的多个结节，CT显示大多数结节呈分叶状，边界清晰，形状各异。位于肺两段之间、形状各异的多个分叶状病变似乎是由多房棘球绦虫引起的肺肺泡型包虫病的特征。
