This case report details a rare instance of a single echinococcal cyst originating in the liver and extending into the retroperitoneal space and kidney, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Echinococcal cysts, caused by Echinococcus tapeworms, are zoonotic parasitic infections.
  • Hepatic echinococcosis is the most common form, but rare presentations can involve adjacent organs.

Observation:

  • A single echinococcal cyst was identified originating from the liver.
  • The cyst extended into the upper right retroperitoneal space and involved the kidney.

Findings:

  • The case presented diagnostic challenges due to the unusual location and extension of the hepatic echinococcal cyst.
  • Surgical intervention was required to address the complex cyst presentation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering echinococcosis in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal and renal masses, even with a hepatic origin.
