Renal hydatid is an uncommon finding, reported in less than 5% patients with hydatid infection. Hydatid involvement of ureter and urinary bladder is an even rarer entity. Renal hydatid is typically unilateral, solitary and arises from cortex. It is essential to be aware of the imaging features of the hydatid cyst for proper diagnosis. Knowledge of the imaging features of various stages is essential since treatment decision is based on cyst stage. Hydatid cyst can mimic several entities both benign and malignant. We present a pictorial review to illustrate the radiological imaging features of hydatid disease involving kidney, ureter and bladder region and its complications.
肾包虫病是一种罕见的发现，在不到 5%的包虫病感染患者中报告。包虫累及输尿管和膀胱更为罕见。肾包虫病通常是单侧的、单发的，起源于皮质。了解包虫囊肿的影像学特征对于正确诊断至关重要。由于治疗决策基于囊肿阶段，因此了解各个阶段的影像学特征是必要的。包虫囊肿可以模拟许多良性和恶性实体。我们进行了图像回顾，以说明涉及肾脏、输尿管和膀胱区域的包虫病及其并发症的放射影像学特征。
