Isolated Renal Hydatid Cyst in a 6-Year-Old Boy: A Case Re-port

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a parasitic infection transmitted by oral ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs. Isolated kidney involvement is extremely rare. It is even less common in children. We present a case of isolated renal HC in a 6-year-old boy from Şanlıurfa, southeast Turkey who complained of...
