Executive Summary of the Consensus Statement of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), the Spanish Society of Tropical Medicine and International Health (SEMTSI), the Spanish Association of Surgeons (AEC), the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR), the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SERVEI), and the Spanish Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (SEIP), on the Management of Cystic Echinococcosis.

The Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), the Spanish Society of Tropical Medicine and International Health (SEMTSI), the Spanish Association of Surgeons (AEC), the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR), the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SERVEI), and the Spanish Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (SEIP) considered it pertinent to issue a consensus statement on the management of cystic echinococcosis (CE) to guide healthcare professionals in the care of patients with CE. Specialists from several fields (clinicians, surgeons, radiologists, microbiologists, and parasitologists) identified the most clinically relevant questions and developed this Consensus Statement, evaluating the available evidence-based data to propose a series of recommendations on the management of this disease. This Consensus Statement is accompanied by the corresponding references on which these recommendations are based. Prior to publication, the manuscript was open for comments and suggestions from the members of the SEIMC and the scientific committees and boards of the various societies involved.

Tuberculoma hepático que simula metástasis de carcinoma neuroendocrino gástrico / Hepatic tuberculoma simulating metastasis of gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma

La tuberculosis es una de las enfermedades infecciosas más frecuentes de distribución mundial, con una amplia presentación clínica. La afectación hepática de la tuberculosis es poco frecuente, pero más infrecuente aún lo es el tuberculoma hepático. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con tuberculoma hepático solitario que simula metástasis hepática secundaria a tumor neuroendocrino

Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases, with worldwide distribution and ample clinical manifestations. Hepatic tuberculosis is rare but hepatic tuberculoma is even rarer. We report an unusual case of a solitary hepatic tuberculoma simulating hepatic metastasis of a neuroendocrine tumor
