Abstract:
As the current demand for liver transplantation exceeds our donor pool, the donor search is shifted towards the extended donor criteria. The livers harbouring hydatid disease are a controversial source of grafts. We report the use of a liver graft harbouring hydatid disease in urgent liver transplantation in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis. Corroborated with previous experiences, we show that the liver grafts harbouring hydatid cysts provide a rare but valuable source of organs.
