Özet
The disease resulting from being infected with the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis is called alveolar echinococcosis (AE). In our country AE is seen in eastern and southeastern regions of Anatolia. Previously no case of AE had been reported by any hospital in Malatya. In this one case, a 70 year-old woman who presented at the Inönü University Turgut Ozal Medical Center with a right upper quadrant abdominal pain was given a diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) by dynamic liver computed tomography. The pathological examination following the cystectomy revealed the presence of AE. This is a report of the first AE case detected in Malatya province.
