title: Laparoscopic excision of prostatic hydatid cyst: case report and review of literature.
abstract: It is rare for hydatid disease to be encountered primarily in the urogenital system or retroperitoneum. Moreover, prostatic involvement is extremely rare. We present a case report of prostatic hydatid cyst that was treated with laparoscopic excision. We reviewed diagnosis and management of hydatid disease of the urogenital tract.
