Pitfall alveolar echinococcosis in non-endemic areas Alveolar echinococcosis migrating northward
Journal Title: Annals of Hepatology - Year 2010, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver can be mistaken as a liver tumor. The occurrence of the fox tapeworm echinococcus multilocularis is increasing in formerly unaffected European regions. As a consequence, alveolar echinococcosis is becoming an important differential diagnosis in Eastern and Northern Europe.
