Since 2000, when the first case was recorded, the number of human AE patients in Slovakia is on continuous raise. The article presents a rare case of alveolar echinococcosis with infiltration in the adrenal gland and discusses the problems associated with differential diagnosis of the disease. In 2016, abdominal ultrasound performed due abdominal pain complaint showed the presence of cystic lesions in the right liver lobe of 54-year old female patient. During surgery, another lesion in the right adrenal gland was found, and neoplastic processes or echinococcosis were considered in the differential diagnosis. Due to unclear correlation between radiology, serology and histopathology results and endemic situation in Slovakia, molecular examination was recommended. Subsequently\n                    <jats:italic>E. multilocularis<\/jats:italic>\n                    was confirmed as etiological agent of infection. Alveolar echinococcosis is considered as a rare disease, with very few patients referred to clinicians or hospitals that sometimes have almost none existing experience with the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Therefore, the establishment of networks or reference centres specialized on management of the disease would be suitable way to provide the patients with the best care and improve the disease diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/helm-2021-0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]],"date-time":"2021-03-11T04:25:45Z","timestamp":1615436745000},"page":"100-105","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver with a rare infiltration of the adrenal gland"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"K.","family":"\u0160imekov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0429-6833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.","family":"Roso\u013eanka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Szil\u00e1gyov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Antolov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Parasitology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences , Hlinkova 3, 040 01 Ko\u0161ice , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Nov\u00e1kov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Nov\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u013d.","family":"Laca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Sadlo\u0148ov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comenius University Bratislava, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Martin , Koll\u00e1rova 2, 036 01 Martin , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"\u0160oltys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Parasitology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences , Hlinkova 3, 040 01 Ko\u0161ice , Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026042803493886391_j_helm-2021-0002_ref_001","unstructured":"Antolov\u00e1, D., Miterp\u00e1kov\u00e1, M., Roso\u013eanka, R., Jaro\u0161ov\u00e1, J., Feckov\u00e1, M., Ondriska, F.
