[Diagnostic and surgical problems in various hepatic echinococcoses].

Mostly there are not diagnostic troubles by the echinococcus of the liver especially since it is in use scaning of the liver. As in rule they are solitary and peripheric and the operative procedure is mostly simple and quick. The diagnostic and operative problems becomes evident when hydatid cyst is localised in central parts of the liver and when it is multiple cysts with penetration in adjacent organs. The poorest situation is when patient with complicated localisation of echinococcus of liver comes from infested area where he was checked out or even operated upon and dismissed with another diagnosis.
