In the above exposition the basic characteristics of bone localization of echinococcus have been shown specially stressing its specific shape of exogen growth, its malign course, bad prognosis, long asymptomatic course, then diagnostic and differential diagnostic difficulties. We specially stress surgical problems, the value of radical surgery whin possible. Our three cases of echinococcus of the ribs prove the validity of radical surgery. Although we are most often forced to have steady palliative interventions we wished to stress their importance. From the above mentioned cases it is clear that they rarely lead to complete cure or to long remissionss which prolong and make easier patient's life. As far as the psyche of the patient is concerned it gives the patient hope for recovery, and the surgeon the power for endurance and patience.
在上述阐述中，已展示了棘球蚴骨定位的基本特征，特别强调了其外生性生长的特定形态、恶性病程、预后不良、无症状病程长，以及诊断和鉴别诊断的困难。我们特别强调手术问题，以及在可能情况下根治性手术的价值。我们的三例肋骨棘球蚴病例证明了根治性手术的有效性。尽管我们大多时候不得不进行持续的姑息性干预，但我们希望强调其重要性。从上述病例可以清楚地看出，这些干预很少能导致完全治愈或长期缓解，从而延长并改善患者的生活。就患者的心理而言，它给患者带来了康复的希望，也给外科医生带来了坚持和耐心的力量。
