[An unusual case of hydatid cyst with adrenal localization].
The paper reports a case of hydatid cyst with a primary adrenal location. Having underlined the rarity of this finding and reviewed the literature on the topic, the Authors discuss the epidemiological, pathogenetic and clinico-diagnostic aspects. In conclusion they underline the difficulty of arriving at a precise diagnosis prior to surgery in spite of the fact that new imaging diagnostic methods enable diagnostic hypotheses regarding this pathology to be advanced.
