Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection commonly involving the liver, less frequently the lungs, and rarely the kidneys. Reports on renal hydatid disease are limited in literature. In this case study, we share a case of a 37-year-old female who presented with a 3-month history of left flank pain and following further evaluation with laboratory testing and radiological imaging was revealed to be a case of renal hydatid disease. The patient was successfully managed surgically with left total nephrectomy. The study will focus on the findings of renal hydatid disease in radiological imaging modalities.
包虫病是一种寄生虫感染,常见于肝脏,肺部感染较少见,肾脏感染则极为罕见。关于肾包虫病的文献报道有限。在本病例研究中,我们分享了一例37岁女性患者的病例,该患者有3个月的左侧腰痛病史,经实验室检查和影像学检查进一步评估后,被诊断为肾包虫病。患者通过左肾全切术成功接受了手术治疗。本研究将聚焦于肾包虫病在影像学检查中的表现。
