Objectives:
To report an additional case of renal hydatid cyst in a patient who had been clinically asymptomatic despite the significant renal derangement observed at diagnosis.
Methods/Results:
Patient clinical history is presented and the diagnostic methods are described.
Conclusions:
US, urography and CT permit an accurate diagnosis in most of the cases. MRI has diagnostic limitations in this condition. To date, surgery continues to be the treatment of choice.
