ABSTRACT
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection that is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. This disease is widely distributed in a temperate and subtropical countries, and it is especially prevalent in sheep and cattle raising countries. The most common infection site is the liver, and the second most common site is the lung. We report here on our experience with Echinococcal hydatid cysts that were found in the bladder of a 38 year old worker from Uzbekistan. The cysts were surgically removed and the patient was managed postoperatively with albendazole.
