title: [Renal hydatid cyst: a nuclear magnetic resonance study].
abstract: A case of renal hydatid cyst (R.H.C.) in which study both traditional diagnostic methods (such as serology, radiology, ecoraphia, C.A.T., etc.) and the newer ones, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (N.M.R.) were used, is presented. The diagnostic characteristics of this type of cystic pathology were reviewed through N.M.R. study, as well as current criteria to outline a correct differential diagnosis with simple Renal Cysts (R.C.). Finally, a theoretical place for each of these methods within the diagnostic algorithm of renal masses is suggested.
