Abstract

Echinococcosis is a dangerous parasitic disease characterized by a chronic course and the development of specific cysts in the liver, lungs, brain, and other internal organs. It has been determined that over the last 20 years, the frequency of complicated cases of the disease is 84.6 %. This article presents the results of our own clinical observation and treatment of a complicated case of hepatic echinococcal cyst with rupture into the biliary tree and migration into the common bile duct, in combination with choledocholithiasis.
