Uncomplicated and small lesions (under 5cm) CE1,2 and 3 can be treated with oral albendazole (10- 15mg/kg/day) and close monitoring. However, large CE1 and CE3 cysts need treatment with both albendazole and PAIR (percutaneous aspiration, introduction of scolicide and reaspiration), performed after initiation of albendazole. Primary surgical treatment has been replaced with less invasive methods since the relapse rate can reach 20%. In patients with complicated cysts, surgery is the treatment of choice. CE4 and 5 only need to be monitored [1][3].
