Abstract

The infectious parasitic illness echinococcosis, also known as hydatidosis, mostly arises from the larval forms of the tapeworm species Echinococcus granulosus. The prevalence of renal involvement in total hydatid disease is documented to be approximately 2-3%, a notably lower rate in comparison to the involvement observed in the liver and lungs. As a result of the lack of observable symptoms, the cyst remains asymptomatic and exhibits a slow progression over a period of time. The computed tomography (CT) scan is often regarded as a highly accurate diagnostic procedure owing to its capacity to precisely ascertain the size and location of the lesion, as well as its correlation and influence on surrounding tissue. The most effective therapeutic strategy entails implementing surgical procedures to extract a hydatid cyst involving the renal system.
