Abstract
The germinal cell masses, probably immature brood capsules of Echinococcus multilocularis were dectected within cysts formed in the liver of a slaughtered pig. They were either papular thickenings of the germinal layer 8 to 15μm thick or germinal cell accumulations 6×10μm to 11X24μm in diameter within the cysts. No central lumen nor inner cuticle layer was formed. The cysts had a thin cuticle layer 4 to 9μm thick and germinal layers reaching 23μm in thickeness and some of them showed degerative changes, whereas no calcareous corpuscles and protoscoleces were observed.
