Cystic echinococcosis of the tongue leading to diagnosis of multiple localizations

J Saez, P Pinto, W Apt, and I Zulantay

The tongue is a rare site of localization of cystic echinococcosis. We report a 3-year-old patient with cystic echinococcosis of the tongue demonstrated by histopathology. The cyst of the tongue was surgically removed. The tongue lesion led us to find additional liver and lung cystic lesions that were successfully treated with albendazole therapy.
