What causes this cysts and why are there so many?

Its a parasitic infestation by tapewarm. It can cause two types of infestation, cystic or alveolar. Prognosis is good for cystic ones, total surgical excision without spillage. Alveolar has much worst prognosis, cure is only possible with early detection and complete surgical excision. The addition of long-term chemotherapy has decreased mortality rates.
