Objective  To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of the liver hydatidosis in nonpastureland.
Methods  Clinical features of 16 patients with liver hydatidosis were analyzed retrospectively.
Results  Only 8 of 16 patients possessed the clinical symptoms and 8 patients had had history of inhabitancy in epidemic area. Casoni test and indirect hemagglutination showed a sensitivity of 90% and the correct diagnostic rate of CT was higher than that of B-ultrasound examination. The main effective treatment of the liver hydatidosis was surgical, 15 out of 16 patients received surgical treatment. In this series, the curative effect was good without any death, allergic reaction and implantation.
Conclusion  The cystic lesion of liver should be considered as liver hydatidosis and Casoni test, indirect hemagglutination, together with CT and B-us examination can be used to comfirm the diagnosis though no clinical symptoms and history of inhabitancy in epidemic area presented. Surgical operation is the main effective treatment for liver hydatidosis.
