A. Corresponding X-ray shows right-sided pulmonary shadowing. B. CT of the chest demonstrates the right dorsal lung consolidation with cystic and septated structures (courtesy of Prof. Dr. A. Mahnken, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at Marburg University Hospital). C. On B-mode US, an echocomplex, septated, cystic lung consolidation in the rightdorsal region was seen, corresponding to stage CE2. D. On CEUS, homogeneous, marked bronchial arterial enhancement in the periphery of the consolidation was seen after 12 s, with complete non-perfused central area

Atypical partial lung excision specimen of the right medial lobe, with a 0.2 cm gray-yellow nodal lesion, on histopathological examination (HE staining A), PAS staining, B. representing a cystic structure (40×: to the right), adjacent to regular lung tissue (40×: to the left), containing PAS-p vositive cuticula, characterizing an echinococcal cyst, surrounded by fibrotic tissue. Protoscolices were not present
