A Disseminated Echinococcosis Patient with Five Years Survival from Turkey: A Case Report
,
Abstract
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease characterized by cysts in especially liver and lung. We report a long-term survival of a 44-year-old female patient with disseminated echinococcal disease involving the brain, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, mediastinum, thyroid gland, parotid gland, pancreas, peritoneum, rectus muscle, pararenal area, left thigh, skin and breast tissue from Turkey in 2016.
