Alveolar echinococcosis is a life-threatening zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. The disease usually primarily involves the liver and shows tumor-like growth. Early diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis is difficult because the disease is usually asymptomatic in the early stages. Untreated cases are fatal and result in death within 10 years of liver involvement. In the diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis, the patient's medical history, radiological imaging findings, and serological and histopathological tests are used together. Radiological imaging methods are very important for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the disease. In this article, we wanted to review the diagnosis and treatment of alveolar echinococcosis and emphasize the importance of keeping it in mind, especially in cystic lesions of the liver, and the importance of early diagnosis of the disease.
肺泡型棘球蚴病是一种由多房棘球绦虫引起的危及生命的人畜共患病。该病通常主要累及肝脏，并呈肿瘤样生长。肺泡型棘球蚴病早期诊断困难，因为该病在早期通常无症状。未经治疗的病例是致命的，肝脏受累后10年内会导致死亡。在肺泡型棘球蚴病的诊断中，会综合运用患者的病史、放射影像学检查结果以及血清学和组织病理学检查。放射影像学方法对该病的早期诊断和鉴别诊断非常重要。在本文中，我们希望回顾肺泡型棘球蚴病的诊断和治疗，并强调牢记该病的重要性，尤其是在肝脏囊性病变中，以及早期诊断该病的重要性。
