[Isolated unilocular hydatidosis of the kidney: a rare clinical event].
The authors report a case of granulomatous hydatid disease of the kidney recently observed in a 47-year-old female patient with a preoperative diagnosis of nephrolithiasis. The rarity of the location and the likely asymptomatic nature of the disease are, in the authors opinion, of clinical and scientific interest.
