Answer
Do a CT to confirm the diagnosis and also to delineate the anatomical extent more properly.

In Cystic lesions, surgery remains the primary treatment and the only hope for complete cure. In Alveolar lesions, radical surgical excision is coupled with chemotherapy in operable cases and long-term aggressive chemotherapy for partially resected or unresectable lesions.

Albendazole is administered in several 1-month oral doses (10-15 mg/kg/d) separated by 14-day intervals.
