A diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) with two partly calcified hepatic lesions was made in a Turkish patient who immigrated to Germany 38 years ago. One lesion, which was 10 cm × 10 cm, was located in the quadrate lobe close to the gallbladder. The other lesion, which was 4.3 cm × 3.5 cm, was located in the left lobe of the liver. These lesions showed no internal structures and were considered inactive, corresponding to type 5 of the World Health Organization classification.
