ABSTRACT
Hydatid disease is frequent in endemic regions especially in sheep farming areas. Kidneys are uncommonly affected (2%-4%). We report a case of right renal colic with hydatiduria revealing a primary renal hydatid cyst ruptured in the mid calyx proved by computed tomography scan and laboratory testing. A kidney sparing surgery was performed by excision of the protruding dome and suturing of the fistula without any postoperative complication. This case emphasizes on further studies to define a standard treatment modality for renal hydatidoses.
