title: [Hydatic kidney cyst: 90 case reports].
abstract: The hydatid cyst of kidney is rare, it ranks third among all visceral localisations. The authors report a series of 90 cases renal hydatid cyst from 1972 to 2000. The middle age is 36 years with female predominance. Renal hydatid cyst often has a suggestive clinical presentation; flank mass in 84%, pain in 74% and sometimes a specific presentation hydaturia in 29%. The hydatid serology is positive in 55% and preferring ultrasonography and computed tomography in diagnosis of renal hydatid cyst. Surgical treatment is now well defined. Conservative treatment occupes a predominant place 84% and resection of the proeminent dome is usually efficient. Total nephrectomy should only be considered in the case of a completely destroyed kidney (16%) of cases. Post-operative course is generally uneventful and reexpansion of renal parenchyma is observed in 93% indicating the benign nature of this disease.
