Abstract
Hydatidosis (hydatic cyst) is one of the most important common infectious diseases between humans and animals, which is transmitted through parasite eggs (worms). A band (of the Echinococcus family) is caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae, which randomly infects a person with one or more cysts. Hydatid cyst affects all organs. The most common sites of involvement include the liver, lung, and rarely in the kidney, brain. It can also cause heart, bone and spleen. Considering the rarity of hydatid cyst in the kidney, this article introduced a 14-year-old patient with hydatid cyst of the kidney.
