This report presents a case of a 68-year-old patient with a history of cervical carcinoma in situ which was initially treated surgically (laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). Eighteen months after the surgery, the patient was referred back to the gynaeoncological clinic with suspicious liver lesions. Based on the transferred documentation, a metastatic aetiology due to the history of cervical carcinoma in situ was hypothesized. There was a surprising finding of cystic echinococcosis of the liver, which is a rare cause of hepatic tumour in our geographical region. We describe the diagnostic process with a key role of biopsy either under ultrasound or CT guidance or by open surgery.
