The applied examination algorhythm was two-staged and included the clinico-laboratory investigations results analysis, as well as serological tests for echinococcus, two-dimensional ultrasonographic investigation data, CT in necessity, the cyst puncture--on the first stage and laparoscopy with histologic investigation of the cyst wall--on the second.
