[Retrovesical hydatic cyst].
The hydatid disease is a common condition in endemic countries, generally involving the liver or the lungs. Genitourinary tract involvement is quite uncommon, and the organ most usually affected is the kidney. A retrovesical location is even more rare. The present paper contributes one case with no evidence of hydatidosis in any other abdominal organ and describes the diagnostic and therapeutic protocol followed.
