Cystic echinococcosis lesion CE3b in a 48-year-old patient revealed by abdominal pain, fever, and liver blood test abnormalities. A Fat-suppressed T2-weighted MR image in the axial plane shows a cystic lesion of the right liver, including daughter cysts with floating membranes. Biliary compression without fistula can be observed (arrow). B Fat-suppressed T2-weighted MR image in the axial plane. Posterior rupture of the cystic echinococcosis (arrow). C Fat-suppressed T1-weighted sequence in the axial plane shown after gadolinium injection at the portal phase. Parietal enhancement of cystic echinococcosis that suggests infection of parasitic lesion (arrowheads)
