Echinococcosis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the larval forms of the genus Echinococcus, particularly E. granulosus and E. multilocularis, representing a major public health concern in endemic regions 3,5. The liver (≈70%) and lungs (≈20%) are the classical sites of infection 4,7. In 10–15% of cases, atypical localizations occur, presenting with nonspecific clinical manifestations and significant diagnostic challenges 6,14. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent severe complications 1,10.
