  • Title: Isolated Renal Hydatid Cyst Misdiagnosed and Operated as a Cystic Renal Tumor.
    Author: Gadelkareem RA, Elqady AA, Abd-Elshafy SK, Imam H, Abolella HA.
    Journal: Med Princ Pract; 2018; 27(3):297-300. PubMed ID: 29597212.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is the presentation of a case of isolated renal hydatid cyst with novel findings and an unusual surgical scenario. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: A 54-year-old female patient presented with left loin pain and a palpable left renal mass. Imaging described a well-demarcated left renal cystic lesion with a double-layer wall. Radical nephrectomy was performed due to the possibility of malignancy. On retrograde revision, the double-layer wall represented the detached germinative membrane of a hydatid cyst that was confirmed by histopathology. CONCLUSION: Isolated renal hydatid cyst could be misinterpreted as a renal tumor. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal cystic lesions.
