    Author: Basiri A, Nadjafi-Semnani M, Nooralizadeh A.
    Journal: J Endourol; 2006 Jan; 20(1):24-6. PubMed ID: 16426127.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old male patient with an isolated calcified hydatid cyst in the lower pole of the right kidney presented with a history of weight loss and cloudy, foul-smelling urine. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed, at which the cyst was removed en bloc. Six months postoperatively, a CT scan revealed no recurrence of hydatidosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for the treatment of isolated renal echinococcosis.
