[Alveolar echinococcosis in Tunisia. Apropos of 2 cases].
The authors report the first two cases of Echinococcus multilocularis observed in Tunisia, in two patients from the North-West of the country, who never travelled abroad. The diagnosis was reached by histopathologic examination of a partial hepatectomy section. The appearance of this disease in this geographic area where unilocularis hydatic cyst is endemically present needs further epidemiologic study.
