Descriptor equinococosis hepática
Entry term(s) equinococosis alveolar hepática
hidatidosis hepática
quiste hidatídico hepático
Scope note: Hepatopatía debida a la infección por helmintos parásitos del género ECHINOCOCCUS, como Echinococcus granulosus o Echinococcus multilocularis. Los huevos de Echinococcus ingeridos excavan la mucosa intestinal. La migración de las larvas hacia el hígado a través de la VENA PORTA produce vesículas con contenido acuoso (QUISTE HIDATÍDICO).

Scope note: Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).
