[Radiographic, sonographic and computer tomographic appearance of hydatid disease of the liver (author's transl)].
Hydatid disease of the liver is no rare condition nowadays. The radiographic, angiographic, sonographic and computer tomographic manifestation of three typical cases out of twelve are described. The routine X-ray film can be successful in establishing the diagnosis in about 30% of the cases. Computer tomography is the diagnostic method of choice. The morphologic differences to Echinococcus alveolaris are mentioned. This lesion can simulate a primary or secondary neoplasm of the liver.
