title: Isolated hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland.
abstract: Hydatide disease of the adrenal gland is extremely rare, even in disseminated disease. Isolated cyst of the gland is even more rare. Only 9 of such cases seem to have been described so far. We present a 49 year old woman in whom a hydatide cyst of the right gland was found during the investigation for the dull pain in the area. She was successfully operated. Hydatide etiology was confirmed at operation and by histology. She had an uneventful recovery. The preoperative pain disappeared postoperatively.
