Percutaneous aspiration of hydatid cysts of the liver was performed in 13 patients, and subsequent percutaneous drainage was performed in three of the 13. Aspiration was performed with ultrasound or computed tomographic guidance with 22-gauge to 19-gauge needles. Analysis of the aspirated specimen established the diagnosis of hydatid cysts in nine of the 13 patients. Fragments of the laminated membrane were seen in seven cases, scolices in two cases, and hooklets in two cases. In the four cases with negative results on aspiration, the diagnosis was established with surgical findings in one case and unequivocal immunologic results in three cases. In two patients, a mild allergic reaction with temporary pruritus was observed. In three patients, percutaneous drainage was performed with a 5-F to 8.3-F catheter, and sterilization of the cyst was achieved by injection of a scolicidal agent. No complications occurred at the time of drainage, and no recurrences developed during 6 months to 1 year after drainage.
