Echinococcal cysts are slow growing, [3] but can cause clinical symptoms in humans and be life-threatening. [4] Cysts may not initially cause symptoms, in some cases for many years. [3] Symptoms developed depend on location of the cyst, but most occur in the liver, lungs, or both. [4]
In addition, if the cysts were to rupture while in the body, whether during surgical extraction of the cysts or by trauma to the body, the person would most likely go into anaphylactic shock and have high fever, pruritus (itching), edema (swelling) of the lips and eyelids, dyspnea, stridor, and rhinorrhea.
