| description | Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection commonly involving the liver, less frequently the lungs, and rarely the kidneys. Reports on renal hydatid disease are limited in literature. In this case study, we share a case of a 37-year-old female who presented with a 3-month history of left flank pain and following further evaluation with laboratory testing and radiological imaging was revealed to be a case of renal hydatid disease. The patient was successfully managed surgically with left total nephrectomy. The study will focus on the findings of renal hydatid disease in radiological imaging modalities. |
