A case of large renal hydatid cyst

الملخص EN

Isolated renal echinococcosis is a rare acquired disease of the kidney, caused by the parasite Echinococcus.

The kidneys are involved in less than 2 % of all human hydatidosis; isolated renal involvement is even rarer.

Based on the clinical and radiological findings, diagnosis of a rare case of isolated renal echinococcosis was made.

The diagnosis was confirmed by laparoscopic surgery and histopathology.
