A case of hydatid disease with unusual localizations.
All organs in the human body may suffer from hydatid disease. Urinary tract involvement in hydatid disease is not common including only 2-4% of cases. The kidneys are the most commonly affected organs in the urinary tract, with other organs rarely affected alone. We report a case of hydatid disease presented with acute urinary retention due to retrovesical hydatid cyst, together with a communicating renal hydatid cyst and a cyst in the right gluteal muscle.
