Echinococcosis is considered the most dangerous zooanthropohelminthiasis, which often has an endemic distribution or is recorded as sporadic cases. Localization of echinococcal cysts can be in any organ [10]. A massive echinococcosis lesion can lead to severe and life-threatening variants of the course of the disease [6, 11]. Frequent postoperative complications, accompanied by multiple repeated surgical interventions, lead to persistent disability of patients. Deaths from this disease occur every year. In this connection, early and timely diagnosis of echinococcosis remains an urgent medical problem.
