The liver is the most commonly involved organ in the body by cystic echinococcosis (CE) secondary to infection with Echinococcus granulosus. In this article, the authors discuss the classification, recent advances in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for the diagnosis of hepatic CE, and approaches for management of hepatic CE using five therapeutic options that include: antihelminthic chemotherapy, surgery, percutaneous treatment, endoscopic approach, and the "watch and wait" approach. |
