[Renal hydatid cyst. Report of a new case].
OBJECTIVE
To report an additional case of renal hydatid cyst in a patient who had been clinically asymptomatic despite the significant renal derangement observed at diagnosis.


RESULTS
Patient clinical history is presented and the diagnostic methods are described.


CONCLUSIONS
US, urography and CT permit an accurate diagnosis in most of the cases. MRI has diagnostic limitations in this condition. To date, surgery continues to be the treatment of choice.
