From the case:
Hydatid cyst with daughter cysts
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/56496/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1694701523\u0026lang=us"}
Well defined thin walled hypodense lesion with few non-enhancing hypodensities
Another partially exophytic lesion with peripheral wall calcification is seen in segment VI of the liver.
Case Discussion
Calcification is rarely picked up on the radiograph. However, if present usually appears as ring-like or curvilinear. Calcification usually indicates pericyst.
Daughter cysts are hypodense and appear as a cyst within the cyst. Daughter cyst separated by hydatid matrix appear as spoke wheel pattern. Multivesicular cysts appear in a honeycomb pattern.
