From: Role of the radiologist in the diagnosis and management of the two forms of hepatic echinococcosis
Alveolar echinococcosis lesion of the right liver in a 49-year-old woman discovered due to left leg edema. A CT image in the coronal plane at the portal phase showing alveolar echinococcosis of the right liver (arrow) associated with invasion of the inferior vena cava, responsible for thrombosis, extending to the common iliac veins (arrowheads). B CT image in the coronal plane obtained during the portal phase: infiltration to the pedicle and biliary convergence (arrows) and biliary dilatation of the left lobe (arrowheads). C CT image in the axial plane obtained during the portal phase showing portal cavernoma of the liver pedicle secondary to hilar alveolar echinococcosis infiltration. D Same examination, soft tissue window: calcified lung nodules (arrowheads). Hypertrophy of the azygos vein secondary to inferior vena cava thrombosis (arrow). E Same examination, lung window: calcified lung nodules (arrowheads)
