Core Tip

Core Tip: Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) is an infectious zoonotic parasitic disease, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common malignant tumor. Co-existence of CE and HCC is fairly rare in clinical settings and the association between the two is still not well recognized. We report a case of hepatic CE complicated with HCC which are radically resected, and present an opinion that with the combination of hepatitis B and obvious extrusion by large hydatid, the HCC risk of the patients might be higher.
