abstract

the Alveolar hydatid disease of the liver is uncommon in childhood. Six were less than 15 years old in our hospital. Among the first three patients, two had hepatomegaly, and the third patients had liver dysfunction. The latest three patients were detected by serological test and ultrasonographic examination in the mass screening when the lesions were too small to produce symptoms. Then CT and angiography were done for more precise examination. For the good prognosis, an early diagnosis and complete removal of the lesion are indispensable.
