Abstract
Hydatidosis which is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus is a widely endemic disease in many parts of the world. The liver is involved in most of the cases. A 14-year-old boy with a giant echinococcal cyst occupying 2/3 of the right lobe of the liver was surgically treated using polyglicolic acid sheet (PGA). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy was performed for persistent bile leakage during postoperative period. Biliary fistula healed 2 days following sphincterotomy. In this report, our case is presented to adress current information about management of huge liver echinococcosis in the light of relevant literature.
