[Hepato-renal polycystic disease and liver hydatidosis (a rare association)].
A case is presented of a patient with polycystic kidneys and familial history of this disease who was from a zone of hydatid endemism. The patient had a hepatic mass compatible with hydatid cyst. Diagnoses by imaging, like echography and CAT, confirmed it, aside from evidencing polycystic liver disease. There was operative and anatomopathologic confirmation of both diseases of the liver. After a review of the bibliography that shows a scant incidence of this concomitance, some remarks are offered concerning these diseases.
