Echinococcosis, or hydatid disease, is an endemic disease that affects many regions worldwide and remains a significant public health issue in areas with high endemicity. It is caused by an infection with the dog tapeworm *Echinococcus granulosus*, which is transmitted to humans either through direct contact with dogs or by ingesting contaminated food. This disease primarily affects internal organs, particularly the liver and lungs.

Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, which is transmitted by dogs and found on every continent except Antarctica. We sought to review the life cycle, epidemiology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment of Echinococcus granulosus of the liver.
Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted using Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science accessed between 1990 and 2024.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected tropical parasitic disease linked with significant social and economic burdens worldwide. The scientific community has minimal information on echinococcosis in Romanian people, and hospital medical records are the only sources that may be used to investigate its status. A 7-year retrospective clinical study on pediatric patients with CE from Southeast Romania was performed, and 39 children and adolescents were included, aged 2-15 years old.

Introduction: Hydatid disease, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is a significant zoonotic infection predominantly affecting the liver and lungs. While hydatid cysts are commonly found in internal organs, cases in the axillary region are rare.
Presentation Of Case: We report a unique case of a 52-year-old female patient presenting with a painless left axillary swelling for two years.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an infrequent zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis with a high degree of disability and mortality. Metastatic cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (CAE) is very rare and the lesions could lead to severe perilesional brain edema (PLBE) and subsequent uncontrollable intracranial hypertension. In this study, we sought to determine the expression of edema-associated factors in CAE lesions and their associations with PLBE.
