	* Liver most common site followed by lung		* Liver is the most common site (60%), followed by lung (20-30%)

	* Presents as liver cancer or metastases of unknown primary		* Presents as liver cancer or metastases of unknown primary
			*Liver involvement is present in 95% of cases

			== Diagnosis ==

			* Generally made with ultrasound, possibly with MRI
			* Serology can be helpful, but not necessarily that sensitive or specific
			* Aspiration may be considered, but there is a risk of allergic reaction and a risk of secondary recurrence from leakages of hydatid fluid or protoscolices
