Core Tip	Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is among the most neglected and misdiagnosed parasitic disease. As the liver is the most frequent location of hydatid cysts, we reviewed the literature to give hepatologists an overview of CE. It is mandatory to consider CE when a patient shows a cystic lesion in the liver, and it is often asymptomatic and accidentally found. The lack of strong guidelines on clinical management of CE causes errors in differential diagnosis and doubts on the best treatment. Four tools are currently used for managing the disease: surgery, albendazole treatment, percutaneous procedures and the so-called “watch and wait”.
