Echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease that affects multiple organs. In some cases, it can imitate a generalized oncological disease, as in the case of our patient. In these article, we also point out to the necessity of correct diagnosis and immediate adequate treatment intervention.

Keywords: echinococcosis, cystic hydatinosis, PAIR technique, benzimidazoles, alveolar echinococcosis.
