Alveolar Hydatid Disease in Minnesota: First Human Case Acquired in the Contiguous United States
A 56-year-old woman from southwestern Minnesota underwent an extended left hepatic lobectomy to remove a large multinodular mass with a necrotic central cavity. The clinical, serological, and pathological findings led to the diagnosis of alveolar hydatid disease, and specific identification of Echin...
