[Echinococcus cyst in a young Dutch woman].
In a 32-year-old female patient, born and grown up in the Netherlands, echinococcal cysts were diagnosed in the lung and the liver. She had probably been infected seven years earlier on a holiday in Turkey. She recovered after surgical removal of the cysts under albendazole treatment.
