liver tissue of >2 cm) cannot be achieved. Hence, as per current recommendations, the cornerstone of treatment remains the continuous medical treatment with albendazole, with individualized interventional measures at the appropriate time [1,4]. Radical surgery could not be done in our patient as R0 (no residue) resection was not possible. Palliative surgery was not possible as the lesion was unresectable due to invasion into the oesophagus, as well as into a blood vessel, leading to its spread to distant organs (both lungs and heart) [1]. Liver transplant was contraindicated due to the presence of extrahepatic locations [1].
