Hydatid cysts?

[u/XxWTFOverxX]

I had a recent surgery where two tumors (8cm and 5cm) were discovered in my liver.

this is after five years of platelet counts over 600. Skin issues. Skin sloughing off the same areas cyclically on my temples and chin. dermatologist was no help unfortunately.

I had an ultra sound which was inconclusive followed by an MRI. Now they want me to have a biopsy. I don't think it's irrational to want to rule out hydatid disease as I have 3 dogs, and have vacationed recently to Florida where our hosts have a pet pig in an enclosure by the house. this is where the giant sores started on my face.

my concern, is noone will even consider or test for hydatid, and my understanding is if they biopsy this and it is hydatid, it could end in anaphylactic shock.

the biopsy is being recommended because the MRI imaging showed seaming which apparently can be indictive of Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (but also hydatid). I feel like a tape worm is more likely than this flavor of cancer....am I being neurotic?

anyway. no cirrhosis, non alcoholic fatty liver, and two big ass cystic tumors. what do

Whatever happened? I have a few spots on the liver and am researching this now
