title: Percutaneous expulsion of hydatid liver cyst following sclerotherapy.
abstract: A 20-year-old woman underwent alcohol sclerotherapy for a symptomatic liver cyst, initially diagnosed as simple liver cyst. Five months later, she presented with expulsion of the cyst from the puncture site. The cyst was proved to be due to hydatid disease. Spontaneous expulsion is a rare complication of sclerotherapy.
