Hydatid renal cyst with characteristic sonographic pattern. A case report.
The kidney is a rare localisation of the hydatid cyst even in countries with a high rate of infestation. We report a case of renal hydatid cyst in a five-year-old girl. Conventional radiology did not yield any diagnosis, whereas in this case renal ultrasonography showed characteristic echographic signs pointing to the origin of the disease.
