Alveolar echinococcosis(AE),caused by larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis,is a very aggressive and potentially fatal infestation which affects primarily the liver and can metastasize to any part of the body through hematogenous spread.It displays a prolonged latency period before clinical presentation,behaving like a slow-growing liver cancer with subsequent invasion of liver tissues
