We report a case of renal hydatid cyst in a 25-year-old male who presented with hydatiduria. Intravenous pyelography revealed presence of a space-occupying lesion in the lower pole of right kidney with curvilinear calcifications. Ultrasound, computed tomography and MRI were suggestive of hydatid cyst in the right kidney. Patient underwent right-sided nephrectomy. Passage of hydatid cysts in urine is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Urinary tract involvement develops in 2-4% of all cases of hydatid cyst. Hydatiduria is an extremely rare manifestation of renal hydatid cyst. We report such a case with emphasis on IVU, sonographic, CT and MRI findings.
我们报告一例25岁男性肾包虫囊肿病例，该患者表现为包虫尿。静脉肾盂造影显示右肾下极存在占位性病变，并伴有曲线状钙化。超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像均提示右肾包虫囊肿。患者接受了右侧肾切除术。包虫囊肿经尿液排出极为罕见。在所有包虫囊肿病例中，尿路受累的发生率为2% - 4%。包虫尿是肾包虫囊肿极为罕见的一种表现形式。我们报告了这样一例病例，并着重介绍静脉肾盂造影、超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像的检查结果。
