Abstract
Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare but severe parasitic disease and is now in Europe the parasitic infection associated with the most morbidity and mortality. Its prevalence is increasing in Switzerland in both urban and rural areas. Echinococcosis is a differential diagnosis that should be considered when facing a cystic hepatic lesion. Moreover, this parasitic infection is increasing amongst immunocompromised patients, making the diagnosis more complex, because of atypic lesions and a more rapid evolution. At the current time, several treatment options, both surgical and medical, can offer patients a good prognosis and maintain a good quality of life.
