Article Synopsis
- Hydatid cyst, caused by the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, is a rare zoonotic disease that can be difficult to diagnose, particularly when located retroperitoneally, as it often mimics other lesions.
- A case is presented of a 39-year-old male from Nepal with a left retroperitoneal hydatid cyst, diagnosed through CT and MRI, and treated with partial cystectomy after experiencing pain and mass sensation for six months.
- Early diagnosis is crucial in endemic areas to prevent rupture, and high clinical suspicion along with advanced imaging techniques are necessary for identifying retroperitoneal hydatid cysts effectively.
