Today we discussed a patient with abdominal pain who had a surprising finding on his abdominal imaging.
The differential diagnosis included a hydatid cyst (Echinococcus granulosus).
Information regarding the lifecycle and pathogenesis can be found in this review.
Interestingly, in a hepatic abscess caused by Klebsiella, there is an association with DM and septic endopthalmitis.
Other causes of liver cysts are discussed here.
