Hydatid disease of the urogenital system, especially of the retroperitoneum and seminal vesicles, is a very rare condition. We report a case of hydatid disease located in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle that was diagnosed incidentally while investigating the etiology of syncope. Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasonography revealed hypoecoic multicystic masses which had thin septations and walls in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle. Abdominal computed tomography examination showed multicystic low attenuation masses in the same region. Pelvic magnetic resonance image findings revealed multiple cystic masses in the retrovesical region and the right seminal vesicle. In conclusion, the diagnosis of hydatid disease should be kept in mind with patients who have cystic lesions in seminal vesicle and retrovesical region.
泌尿生殖系统的包虫病,尤其是腹膜后和精囊的包虫病,是一种非常罕见的疾病。我们报告一例位于肝脏、膀胱后区域和精囊的包虫病病例,该病例在调查晕厥病因时被偶然诊断出来。经腹和经直肠超声检查显示肝脏、膀胱后区域和精囊中存在低回声多囊性肿块,这些肿块有薄的分隔和壁。腹部计算机断层扫描检查显示同一区域有多囊性低密度肿块。盆腔磁共振成像结果显示膀胱后区域和右侧精囊有多个囊性肿块。总之,对于在精囊和膀胱后区域有囊性病变的患者,应考虑包虫病的诊断。
