Abstract:
Surgical resection is the best treatment for early stage alveolar echinococcosis of the liver. In the stages that are not appropriate for resection and when the case develops complications, a liver transplant can be a lifesaver. The liver transplants of alveolar echinococcosis are technically difficult because of prior operation, interventional radiological procedures, and large mass. Despite such difficulty, living donor liver transplantation can save one's life.
