A Hydatid Cyst Case Diagnosed in Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Examination of a Pediatric Patient

Abstract

A 10-year-old girl applied to the family health center with complaints of urinary burning and left-side pain. It was found that she received various treatments for the diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infection based on medical history. Hepatomegaly and left costovertebral angle tenderness were detected in physical examination,. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) revealed a 3 mm thick encapsulated cystic lesion measuring approximately 8.5 x 8 x 8 x 8 cm in the left lobe of the liver that also presses on the left kidney. In the follow-up of the patient, who was surgically treated and histopathologically diagnosed as a hydatid cyst, her complaints about recurrent urinary tract infection were observed to be resolved.
