Hepatic hydatid cyst - diagnose and treatment algorithm.

Conclusions: patients with hepatic hydatid cyst form a heterogeneous group, semiology being poor and unspecific. Among the laboratory examinations, eosinophilia is a sign of concern but is present in less than half of the patients. Imaging findings are the basis for the diagnosis of hepatic hydatid cysts. Surgical treatment remains the "gold standard" in therapy, but minimally invasive methods with high applicability, less frequent complications and lower hospital requirements are starting to gain ground.
