Abstract:
In the present case an 81-year-old patient was operated upon for a suspected atraumatic spleen rupture. During the operation a spleen abscess was found. Histological examination of the removed spleen revealed an Echinococcus multilocularis infection. There was no sign of further organ involvement: surprisingly the liver was not affected. Case history, clinical outcome and the prescribed treatment are described. A short overview of the Echinococchus multilocularis syndrome is presented.
