Hydatid cyst of the kidney is a very rare condition caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. We report a case of isolated hydatid cyst of the kidney.
A 32-year-old male patient presented with vague pain in the left lumbar region of 3 months' duration. Abdominal examination demonstrated a palpable mass in the left flank. The routine laboratory findings were normal. Radiologic studies showed a soft-tissue mass in the mid-portion of the left kidney measuring 115 x 130 mm.
We performed kidney-sparing pericystectomy, and the cyst was removed intact. The histopathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis.
In general, surgery is the treatment of choice for a hydatid cyst of the kidney, and kidney-sparing surgery is the most appropriate treatment whenever possible.
肾包虫囊肿是一种由细粒棘球绦虫幼虫阶段引起的非常罕见的病症。我们报告一例孤立性肾包虫囊肿病例。
一名32岁男性患者出现左侧腰部模糊疼痛,持续3个月。腹部检查发现左腰部可触及肿块。常规实验室检查结果正常。影像学研究显示左肾中部有一个软组织肿块,大小为115×130毫米。
我们实施了保留肾单位的囊肿切除术,囊肿完整切除。组织病理学检查结果证实了诊断。
一般来说,手术是肾包虫囊肿的首选治疗方法,只要有可能,保留肾单位手术是最合适的治疗方法。
