Retroperitoneal hydatid disease is a rare parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus.
Most of the time it is secondary to a hepatic hydatid disease. We present a case of a 50-year-old man with
an abdominal swelling which when evaluated turned out to be a primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst, who underwent
total excision of the cyst and postoperative albendazole therapy. Hence Hydatid cyst should always be
considered in the differential diagnosis of all cystic masses in all anatomic locations, especially in individuals
living in endemic regions of the world.
Ekinokokus granulozisin oluşturduğu retroperitoneal hidatik kistlere oldukça nadir rastlanır. Genellikle
vakalar primer karaciğer kist hidatiklerine sekonder olarak gelişirler. Burada 50 yaşındaki bir erkek hastada
tesbit edilen ve cerrahi olarak çıkarıldıktan sonra albendazol tedavisine alınan bir primer retroperitoneal hidatik
kist vakası sunuldu. Hidatik kist tanısı özellikle endemik bölgelerde yaşayan ve kistik lezyonu olan vakaların
ayırıcı tanısında öncelikle düşünülmelidir.
