[Contribution to the surgical and cytostatical treatment of multiple abdominal and hepatic echinococcosis].
This is a report on 5 patients with multiple liver and abdominal echinococcosis. Besides surgical treatment the cytostatic Cyclophosphamide (=Endoxan) has been used in all cases. With this combined treatment there has been no recurrence. At this time the cytostatic-surgical combination treatment represents the therapy of choice in multiple echinococcosis. It remains to be seen whether a specific drug therapy will displace these methods in the near future.
