The author describes 28 observations of rare localizations of the echinococcosis in patients with proved "omission" of the hexacantic embryo of the liver and the lung barrier. It has been established that the spleen is most often affected. The necessity of diagnostication with modern visual technics--echography and KT--has been proved, as well as confirmation of the specificity of the process with the immunological reactions for echinococcosis. The approach for an organ-preserving operation at the spleen localization has been emphasized, stating as well the indications for splenectomy. General theoretical and practical conclusions for the diagnostics and the treatment of these localizations have been made.
