Clinical Case: 56-year-old woman evaluated in routine ophthalmology consult for progressive right eye visual deterioration. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Biomicroscopy revealed bilateral mild nuclear sclerosis. Right eye fundoscopy showed the presence of an exophytic, multilobulated whitish rounded neoformation, 2 disc diameters in size, located temporal-superiorly to the fovea, just above the temporal superior vascular arcade. After further additional interrogation, the patient admitted regular treatment and follow up for disseminated echinococcosis (Echinococcus granulosis), with multiple hepatic, pulmonary and skin cysts.
