The authors present a case of a single large retrovesical hydatidic cyst in a 76-year old patient in which they were unable to find extraurinary hydatidic forms and comment upon its possible primitive or secondary origin in view of the special features observed therein and the etiopathogenic information consulted. They also explain the steps in the clinical diagnosis and the surgical treatment performed to achieve the complete removal of the cyst.
