Abstract

Cystic echinococcosis is a major health problem in Turkey. Hydatid cysts usually remain asymptomatic for many years. We herein report two asymptomatic cases of hepatic echinococcosis that were successfully treated with percutaneous aspiration-injection-reaspiration (PAIR) plus albendazole.
