Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Parasitology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by Echinococcus tapeworms.
  • Retrovéscical hydatid cysts are rare, with most cases involving liver or lung hydatidosis.
  • Diagnosis often relies on imaging and serological tests.

Observation:

  • A unique case of a solitary retrovesical hydatid cyst is presented.
  • The patient showed no signs of hydatidosis in other abdominal organs.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was successfully performed for the retrovesical hydatid cyst.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a hydatid cyst.
  • Post-operative recovery was uneventful.
