polycystic hydatid disease

polycystic hydatid disease
infection with the larval forms (hydatid cysts) of Echinococcus vogeli, in which the germinal membrane of the hydatid proliferates both inward into the original cyst to form septa that divide it into many sections, and outward to form new cysts. The condition is seen primarily in Central and South America.
