Abstract [en]

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonosis presenting with focal liver lesions and has a poor prognosis without treatment. The disease is common in Central and Eastern Europe but has been highly unusual in Sweden. A suspicion of AE usually arises through radiology and the diagnosis may be confirmed by histology and/or serological antibody detection. AE is treated with radical surgery in combination with anti-helminthic drug therapy. During the last two years six cases of AE have been diagnosed in Sweden. In no case was AE suspected clinically before biopsy. A heightened awareness of AE is needed among Swedish physicians, including radiologists, surgeons and pathologists.

Abstract [sv]

Echinococcus multilocularis (rävens dvärgbandmask) är en bandmask med livscykel hos räv och gnagare.

Människan kan bli accidentell mellanvärd och då utveckla en levertumör (alveolär ekinokockos) med allvarlig prognos utan behandling.

Från att mycket sällan ha diagnostiserats tidigare har under de senaste två åren sex fall av infektion med E multilocularis påvisats i Sverige.

Leverförändringen misstolkas ofta radiologiskt såsom en malign tumör.

Diagnosen ställs med hjälp av radiologi och serologi men kan bekräftas med histopatologi och PCR av vävnad.

Behandlingen är kirurgisk och medikamentell.
