The first case was a man, having a cystic mass in the liver. He was subsequently diagnosed as having echinococcosis following positive serology. The second case, a male, had a renal hydatid cyst revealed by histopathology, and a positive serological test. The third case, a wife of case 2, was positive by serological screening for echinococcosis and subsequently proven to have splenic and liver echinococcal cysts.
