“…Coexistence of E. granulosus infection and cancer has been broadly reported, such as coexistence with hepatocellular carcinoma (Bourne and Williams, 1963; Zöld et al, 2005; Li et al, 2015), lung carcinosarcoma (Misthos et al, 2012), liver mucinous cystadenoma (Muralidhar et al, 2018), renal sarcoma (Benchekroun et al, 1979), renal adenocarcinoma (Miñana López et al, 1994), or ovarian epithelial tumor and lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma (Gungor et al, 2011). The exact relationship between E. granulosus and cancer, however, has long been unclear until the last decade, when an epidemiological study on patients with CE occasionally found a negative correlation between CE and solid tumors (Akgül et al, 2003).…”

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a devastating zoonotic condition caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, remain a significant public health problem worldwide. However, after a negative correlation between solid tumor and CE has been incidentally discovered, accumulating evidence have suggested that this parasite may induce anticancer effect through activating host immune response and secreting molecules with anticancer potential, which may provide some new understanding for immunotherapy. This article will review the evidence supporting the anticancer effect of E. granulosus and its underlying mechanisms and discuss the possible implications in immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) is a cyst-forming epithelial neoplasm. The most distinguishing feature is the ovarian-type subepithelial stroma on pathological examination. CASE SUMMARY An abdominal ultrasound incidentally revealed a liver tumor in a 32-year-old woman. Physical and laboratory examination results did not reveal any abnormalities. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic space measuring 7.2 cm × 5.4 cm in the liver. Subsequent CT showed an increase in tumor size. Thus, we performed surgical resection of the tumor and gallbladder. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MCN-L. At the 6-mo of follow-up, no recurrence was observed on ultrasound or CT. CONCLUSION Since preoperative diagnosis of MCN-L is difficult, active surgery is recommended and helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of MCN-L.

“…[ 34 , 76 , 77 , 79 – 82 ] In turn, both MCN-L and the cystic variant of IPNB must be distinguished from hydatid cysts. [ 83 – 87 ] Because IPNB manifests with focal dilatation of the bile ducts, diseases that cause focal biliary dilatation may mimic IPNB and must be distinguished. With focal biliary dilatation, it is important to exclude an intrahepatic stone or mass, such as cholangiocarcinoma, causing biliary obstruction.…”

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts is a rare tumor. Characteristic features include bile duct dilatation, cystic lesions with communication to the bile ducts, and intraluminal solid nodules arising from the bile duct wall. As in pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia, intestinal, pancreaticobiliary, gastric, and oncocytic types are described. Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts has a high potential for malignancy, and patients should be surgically resected when possible. In this review, the complex imaging diagnosis is presented. The main focus is on contrast-enhanced ultrasound, an established method for many other indications whose potential on the biliary system should be better exploited. In the present article, typical contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings in intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts are demonstrated.
