The presence of benign and/or malignant liver lesions is not easy to determine, especially differentiated. Preoperative diagnosis has to include more procedures for correlation of data in order to establish the correct diagnosis and proper treatment. The case of a 72-year-old female patient who was admitted because of the appearance of persistent dull pain under right rib cage. Ultrasound and CT findings verify the presence of two changes in the right liver, various radiographic characteristics. One change was good, other cystic. The presence of easily elevated tumor markers (AFP) in favor of hepatocellular carcinoma. The nature of other types of cystic changes was not clear. Intraoperatively and histologically confirmed to be a simultaneous presence of hepatocellular carcinoma and hydatid cysts in the right lobe of the liver. Surgical treatment is the only solution for the simultaneous treatment of both changes in the liver.
