During an abdominal surgery a 46-year-old patient working at a meat processing plant was found to have a very dense roundish formation 11 cm in diameter which was localized in the right lobe of the liver. The cross-section of the formation has a porous appearance due to a large number of small vesicles with layers of dense connective tissue. The surrounding tissues have visible necrotic areas and proliferation of granulation tissue including many eosinophils and foreign body giant cells. What disease can be thought of in this case?
- A. Malaria
- B. Hepatitis
- C. Echinococcus multilocularis
- D. Calculous cholecystitis
- E. Hepatic rhabdomyosarcoma
Hint
Combine the occupation, the porous cut surface made of many small vesicles, and the eosinophil and giant-cell reaction around the node.
