    Author: Singh V, Devana SK, Gorsi U, Bal A.
    Journal: Urology; 2019 Nov; 133():e11-e12. PubMed ID: 31351081.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid disease or echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by cestode Echinococcus granulosus. In humans, isolated renal involvement or primary renal hydatid cyst of the kidney is rare and accounts for about 1%-5% of all the cases of hydatid cyst. Isolated renal hydatid cyst can mimic cystic renal tumor both clinically and radiologically. We present a rare case of isolated hydatid cyst in a 38-year-old male who was diagnosed as a case of cystic renal tumor on radiology.
