Abstract:
A hepatic central bisegmentectomy was performed on a 36-year-old Iranian man with suspected cystic echinococcosis. Hepatic computed tomography (CT) scan findings showed a large cystic lesion, which included many small round shaped cystic lesions. The diagnosis of hepatic cystic echinococcosis was confirmed during surgery. The aforementioned CT scan findings may be specific findings for cystic echinococcosis, in spite of a low appearance rate.
