She had been experiencing symptoms for 5\u00a0months when a routine ultrasound examination revealed a structural formation in the liver. Patient was investigated by using contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) and diagnosed with liver alveococcosis with multiple lesions. Patient underwent diagnostic laparotomy with obtaining gross specimen, biomaterial was examined microscopically and found that there were small fragments of fibrous tissue determined together with small groups of cystic formations and walls consisted of chitin. Moreover, contrast enhanced CT allowed us to differentiate liver alveococcosis from cavernous hemangioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver metastases from unknown source.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Contrast enhanced CT plays a major role in differentially diagnosing liver alveococcosis and makes it the first line method of choice for the consideration of the future treatment and surgical interventions.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04399-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]],"date-time":"2024-03-11T01:01:18Z","timestamp":1710118878000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Computed tomography angiography of liver alveococcosis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Saodatkhon","family":"Magzumova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8855-4574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Umidjon","family":"Isroilov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2232-8264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nigora","family":"Djuraeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zarina","family":"Khaybullina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aybek","family":"Amirkhamzaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nargiza","family":"Vakhidova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khanum","family":"Abdukhalimova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alisher","family":"Sultanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bekhzod","family":"Abdullaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"4399_CR1","unstructured":"Sezgin O, Altinta E.
