  • Title: Multiple disseminated abdominal hydatidosis presenting with gross hydatiduria: a rare case report.
    Author: Shukla S, Singh SK, Pujani M.
    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 2009; 52(2):213-4. PubMed ID: 19332916.
    Abstract:
    Cystic hydatid disease may develop in almost any part of the body. Approximately 70% of the hydatid cysts are located in the liver followed by the lung (25%). The kidneys, spleen, mesentry, peritoneum, soft tissues and brain are uncommon locations for hydatid cysts. Renal involvement in echinococcosis is extremely rare. Hydatiduria accompanies only 10-20% of all cases of renal hydatidosis and is usually microscopic. Gross hydatiduria is an exceptional presentation of hydatidosis. We report an exceptionally rare case of multiple hydatidosis with cysts in the liver, spleen, kidney and peritoneal cavity, presenting with gross hydatiduria.
