Özet
A 52-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 5-month history of episodic left flank pain. The physical examination and laboratory tests suggested stone disease. Chest radiography and the neurological examination were unremarkable. Ultrasonography revealed a multiloculated cystic lesion in the left kidney. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a 7 cm diameter multiloculated cyst arising from the left kidney with a thick capsule with well-defined borders, containing multiple, peripherally located, tiny daughter cysts (Figure 1a,b). This appearance was compatible with a WHO type 2 A hydatid cyst. No additional cystic lesions were found on abdominopelvic CT or chest X-ray. He underwent surgery and the diagnosis of hydatid disease was made histopathologically.
