The hydatic cyst disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a potentially lethal, which can be found anywhere in the world, but especially in endemic areas such as the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Middle East. This parasite is mainly found in the liver (3/4 of the cases), being asymptomatic in most cases and discovered accidentally on a routine abdominal ultrasound or an ultrasound done for diagnosing other pathologies. Liver hydatid cyst threatment is multimodal, which includes medical, surgical, and interventional radiologic techniques. KEY WORDS: Complication, Echinococcus Granulosus, Lithiasis, Liver Hydatid Cyst.
