Abstract :

We present a rare case of primary left renal hydatid cyst in a 50 year male patient admitted with left lumbar pain. Radiological investigations were suggestive of Hydatid cyst of left kidney upper pole. The hydatid cyst was treated by preoperative course of Tab Albendazole followed by open surgical cystecomy and postoperative Tab Albendazole therapy. This case emphasizes the need for a better detection and evaluation of such rare case to identify better treatment modality
