Core Tip
Core tip: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosis, which is globally distributed. Recurrent lesions, multiple organ involvement and vital organ involvement are considered challenging for clinicians. Herein, we report a case of aortic involvement in recurrent retroperitoneal CE lesions following primary splenic CE resection. This case highlights that primary surgery of CE should be carefully performed to prevent recurrence. Furthermore, surgical resection of recurrent complicated CE with aortic involvement should be carefully planned and performed to prevent possible severe adverse complications, thereby improving the postoperative outcome.
