Abstract

Hydatidosis is a rare parasitic disease that is endemic in some countries of the Mediterranean basin. Renal localization is rare and exists only in 5% of the visceral forms. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the kidney is suspected in epidemiological, clinical, radiological and biological arguments. The clinical symptomatology is variable, and depends on the evolutionary stage of the cyst. Hydration is the only pathognomonic sign, but it exists in only 10 to 30% of cases. Ultrasound makes it possible to suspect the hydatic nature of the lesion in more than 50% of cases; Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are useful in cases of diagnostic doubt. The reference treatment of the renal hydatid cyst is Conservative surgery with resection of the protruding dome. A total nephrectomy is conceived only in front of a kidney completely destroyed.
