Abstract:
About 60% of clinically diagnosed cases of echinococcosis are found in the liver. Echinococcal involvement of the kidney is extremely rare. Imaging techniques such as sonography and CAT scan disclose typical findings are obtained in most of the cases. In this paper the necessary diagnostic procedure and a organ-preserving surgical technique are described.
