Mucinous cystadenomas of the liver are rare cystic neoplasms, often mistaken for simple cysts or hydatid liver. They generally benign tumors, discovered incidentally on imaging during independent surgeries. Despite their tendency to grow slowly, mucinous can reach symptomatic dimensions.

Background The effect of helminth infections on allergic diseases is still inconclusive. Several studies show that Treg cell induced by parasites down regulate the host Th2-mediated allergic response.

Our aim ...
