Cystic Echinococcosis of the Ilium Treated with Curettage and Microwave Thermoablation Followed by Bone Cement Installation: A Novel Treatment Technique for a Rare Disease

<div>MRI scan of the patient’s pelvis three months after her initial evaluation. T1-Weighted Image (T1W) coronal view (a), T1W contrast-enhanced coronal view (b), STIR coronal view (c), and T2-Weighted Image (T2W) axial view (d). The lesion appears to have progressed compared with the initial MRI scan evaluation and continues to be characterized by atypical imaging features, edema, and mixed osteolytic and osteoblastic areas (white arrows).</div>
