Isolated renal hydatid disease causing ureteropelvic junction obstruction and massive destruction of kidney parenchyma

Urology. 2006 Jun;67(6):1290.e15-7. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2005.12.039.

Abstract

Isolated hydatid disease of the kidney is a rare condition that can be challenging to diagnose. We describe a case in which isolated renal hydatid disease obstructed the ureteropelvic junction, resulting in hydronephrosis and complete destruction of the renal parenchyma.
