Objective To describe the current situation of the prevalence of hepatic hydatidosis, analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment method of the disease, in order to provide scientific basis for personal treatment plans of hepatic hydatidosis. Method The clinical data of 121 patients with recurrent hepatic hydatidosis treated between July 2006 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The general information of hydatid disease of liver, mass of liver, clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, treatment method, effectiveness of the treatment during hospitalization, and follow-up results were collected and analyzed. Results Most of the patients were adults from Sichuan and Tibet, and the majority of them had no clear occupation or clear animal contact history and had not taken raw or fresh meat. Lesions in the right lobe occurred in 87 cases, accounting for 71.90%. Abdominal pain and distension were the main clinical manifestations. Twenty-five (20.66%) of these patients were associated with hepatic dysfunction, among whom 23 patients had mild hepatic dysfunction. Alpha-fetoprotein level was increased in one (0.83%) of these cases. A total of 119 of the 121 patients received surgical treatment (98.35%) and all the surgeries were successful. Follow-up results revealed that three of the patients had recurrence. Conclusions Hepatic hydatidosis is an epidemic mainly in the Tibetan district of the West of China. The disease mainly occurs in the right lobe of the liver, which mainly causes mile liver damage. Hepatocellular carcinoma has not been found in these cases. Surgery treatment is the main therapy for liver hydatidosis and may result in good effectiveness.
