摘要
A 35-year-old female was hospitalized for abdominal pain, bloating, and vomiting. Plain X-ray pictures exhibited bowel obstruction for which she underwent emergency surgery. On the second postoperative day, she started to complain about dull right upper quadrant abdominal pain and bloating. Abdominal CT scans revealed very large cystic lesion with an inhomogeneous fluid content. The cyst occupied the whole right lobe of the liver compressing the surrounding organs and dislocating the left lobe of the liver towards the left hypochondrium （Figure 1）. Additionally, several more cysts of various sizes were seen in the whole abdomen. This radio-morphology raised the possibility of a hydatid disease （caused by ruptured hydatid cyst） confirmed through positive echinococcus IgG serology （ELISA）. Interestingly, no hypereosinophilia could be detected through repeated blood tests.
