A CT image in the axial plane at the portal phase showing a large cystic echnicoccosis lesion of the right liver. Internal daughter cysts (arrowheads) (CE3a stage). B CT image in the axial plane at the portal phase showing a large right liver cyst complicated by advanced chronic liver disease secondary to Budd Chiari syndrome. Hypertrophy of the left liver lobe and surface nodularity suggestive of advanced fibrosis. C Same examination in the coronal plane. Mass effect of the cystic echinococcosis on the heart chambers (arrowheads). D Same examination in the axial plane, lower slices. Portal thrombosis (arrow) and ascites (star)
