Hydatid disease (HD) is a parasitic endemic zoononis in Tunisia, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus Granulosus (EG). Adrenal glands are an uncommon and rare location for hydatid cysts, even in endemic areas, and primary adrenal cysts are exceptional. Herein, we report a rare case of 46-year-old man with primary giant adrenal hydatid cyst complicated by inferior vena cava thrombosis. The patient was successfully treated with an open adrenalectomy, with prophylactic albendazole therapy pre and postoperatively.
包虫病（HD）是突尼斯一种寄生虫性地方人畜共患病，由细粒棘球绦虫（EG）的幼虫阶段引起。肾上腺是包虫囊肿不常见且罕见的发病部位，即使在流行地区也是如此，原发性肾上腺囊肿更是罕见。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名46岁男性患有原发性巨大肾上腺包虫囊肿并伴有下腔静脉血栓形成。该患者通过开放性肾上腺切除术成功治愈，术前和术后均接受了预防性阿苯达唑治疗。
