The “ball of wool” appearance of the hyperechoic folded laminated layer in the iso-hyperechoic cyst content is characteristic of the CE4 stage. Complete or near-complete egg-shell calcification of a cyst with the same content appearance is characteristic of the CE5 stage. CE = cystic echinococcosis.
