[Rare localizations of echinococcosis]. 1993

G Stoianov

The author describes 28 observations of rare localizations of the echinococcosis in patients with proved "omission" of the hexacantic embryo of the liver and the lung barrier. It has been established that the spleen is most often affected. The necessity of diagnostication with modern visual technics--echography and KT--has been proved, as well as confirmation of the specificity of the process with the immunological reactions for echinococcosis. The approach for an organ-preserving operation at the spleen localization has been emphasized, stating as well the indications for splenectomy. General theoretical and practical conclusions for the diagnostics and the treatment of these localizations have been made.

D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D004443	Echinococcosis	An infection caused by the infestation of the larval form of tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. The liver, lungs, and kidney are the most common areas of infestation.

D004444	Echinococcosis, Hepatic	Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).
