Human echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the larvae of the tapeworm species The liver is the most common location for a primary echinococcosis. However, the parasite may bypass or spread from the liver to the lungs, causing primary or secondary pulmonary echinococcosis, respectively. Pulmonary echinococcosis is a clinically challenging condition in which anthelminthic regiments are important, but surgery has the central role in removing the cysts and preventing recurrences.

A coexistance of liver cystic echinococcosis (CE) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is very rare. HCC is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, while CE is a globally endemic zoonosis caused by the cestode tapeworm . The association between these two diseases is still not well-defined.

Hydatid disease, or echinococcal disease, is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm and it primarily affects the liver and lung but involvement of other organs is also possible secondary to peritoneal seeding or hematogeneous dissemination. We describe a rare case of extensive abdominal disease, with lesions affecting the liver, peritoneum, and lesser omentum, requiring aggressive surgical intervention. Complementary diagnostic exams were crucial to reach the diagnosis and evaluate the extension of the disease.
