Hepatic hydatid cyst

Discussion:

The findings are consistent with hepatic hydatid cyst.

When the hydatid cyst is less than  3 cm, the imaging findings are nonspecific, resembling those of simple hepatic cysts.  With  larger  lesions,  the  CT findings  are :

  • a hypodense band owing to the presence of a pericyst 
  • wall calcification 
  • daughter cysts within the main focus
  • inner layer detachment
