Renal hydatid cysts are rare but treatable. Most cases involve conservative surgery, preserving kidney function and showing excellent recovery rates.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Parasitology
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Hydatid cyst of the kidney is a rare parasitic infection, ranking third in visceral localizations.
  • This study analyzes 90 cases of renal hydatid cysts diagnosed and treated between 1972 and 2000.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and surgical management of renal hydatid cysts.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of different treatment approaches for this rare condition.

Summary:

  • The study involved 90 patients, with a mean age of 36 and a female predominance. Common symptoms included flank mass (84%), pain (74%), and hydatouria (29%). Hydatid serology was positive in 55% of cases.
  • Diagnosis relied heavily on ultrasonography and computed tomography. Surgical treatment predominantly favored conservative approaches (84%), such as dome resection, with total nephrectomy reserved for severely damaged kidneys (16%).

  • Post-operative recovery was generally favorable, with 93% demonstrating renal parenchyma re-expansion, highlighting the generally benign nature of renal hydatid disease.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the efficacy of conservative surgical management for renal hydatid cysts.
    • Emphasizes the importance of imaging modalities like ultrasonography and CT scans in diagnosis.
    • Demonstrates the high rate of renal parenchyma re-expansion post-treatment, indicating good prognosis.
