| Core Tip |
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening parasitic disease. Despite the importance of ultrasonography as an imaging modality in the work-up of hepatic AE, there is no established sonomorphological classification of hepatic AE lesions analogous to the World Health Organization’s ultrasonographic classification for cystic echinococcosis. Objective of the present study was to establish an ultrasonographic classification based on a large sample of patients with confirmed hepatic AE. Assignment of hepatic AE lesions to one of the five sonomorphological patterns was successful in 95% of cases based on the ultrasonographic classification scheme proposed in the present study. |
