case_images: The abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) revealed a large solid-cystic intrahepatic lesion measuring 125x118x123 mm involving the hepatic segments IV, VII, and VIII (Figure 1). 
case_images: Photomicrographs of the liver biopsy. Histopathology of alveolar echinococcosis: A and B - Zones of eosinophilic necrosis surrounded by palisading histiocytes, fibrosis, and lymphocytic collar (H&E, A-100X, B-200X); C - refractile membranes at the center of necrosis (H&E, 400X); D - PAS-positive membranous structures (400X).

case_images: The liver biopsy highlighted multiple randomly dispersed foci of eosinophilic necrosis surrounded by palisading histiocytes, a pale zone of fibrosis, and a thick collar of lymphocytes at places (Figures 2A and 2B). A few foci contained pale, refractile eosinophilic membranes, which were strongly PAS-positive (Figures 2C and 2D).
