    Echinococcus multilocularis infection, or alveolar hydatid disease, is rare but can mimic liver cancer. This case highlights extensive biliary obstruction and liver necrosis, with a review of related findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Hepatology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Echinococcus multilocularis infection is uncommon in humans.
    • It typically manifests in the liver, resembling a malignant tumor.
    • Alveolar hydatid disease presents unique diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of alveolar hydatid disease with significant biliary obstruction and liver necrosis.
    • To review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and radiological findings of Echinococcus multilocularis infection.
    • To enhance understanding of this rare parasitic liver disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Review of existing literature on Echinococcus multilocularis epidemiology.
    • Analysis of clinical and roentgenological data from the reported case.

    Main Results:

    • The case presented with extensive biliary obstruction and a large liver cavity due to necrosis.
    • Echinococcus multilocularis infection can cause severe hepatic complications.
    • Radiological findings were crucial in diagnosing the extent of the disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Alveolar hydatid disease requires high clinical suspicion, especially when liver lesions mimic malignancy.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to prevent severe complications.
    • Further research into the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of Echinococcus multilocularis is warranted.
