Abstract:
This case details a 42-year-old farmer experiencing ten months of lower abdominal pain, diagnosed with a retrovesical hydatid cyst (RVHC). Imaging, including ultrasound and CT scans, categorized the cyst as Gharbi type 3. Serological tests confirmed echinococcal antibodies. Surgical intervention comprised the resection of the cyst's prominent dome, following one month of albendazole therapy. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach is highlighted, emphasizing collaboration among urologists, radiologists, and parasitologists for optimal outcomes. This case discussion contributes to the existing literature, providing insights into the management of this rare manifestation of echinococcosis.
