“…In these cases, cyst contents should be aspirated initially, and the cyst should be filled with a scolecidal agent such as 30% sodium chloride, 2% formalin or 1% iodine for approximately 5 min to kill the germinal portions of cyst. 20 Of our 10 cases, five patients underwent total nephrectomy because of large cyst size and loss of renal function. We performed adrenalectomy in one case, endocystectomy plus partial excision and plication of ectocyst in two cases involving paravesical and retrovesical hydatid cysts, and total excision of the right parapelvic cyst.…”

This study reviews urinary hydatid disease in seven males and three females (mean age, 32.1 +/- 17.7 years; range, 7-67 years). Cysts were located in the kidney in six cases (one also involved the liver), the paravesical and retrovesical region in two cases (one coexisted with a bladder tumour), the adrenal gland (one case) and in the right parapelvic region (one case). Investigations included urinalysis, eosinophil count, Casoni skin test, indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), abdominal ultrasonography, intravenous urography and computed tomography (CT). All patients underwent surgery and were followed for an average of 5.6 years. Lumbar or abdominal pain was the most common symptom. Eosinophilia was seen in five patients (50%), IHA positivity occurred in four patients (40%) and the Casoni skin test was positive in four patients (40%). Abdominal CT was the most useful diagnostic method of radiological investigation (100%). No complications or recurrences were seen on follow-up. Urinary hydatid disease is uncommon and is likely to cause considerable diagnostic difficulties, and should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying lesions of the urinary tract.

“…In addition, as the cysts located in the peritoneal cavity, it may induce primary infertility as well as the symptoms of the digestive system and adjacent organs such as abdominal pain and general malaise. Besides, renal mass, hematuria, albuminuria, or hydatidosis can be seen in the kidney-located cysts [17]. In the present case, multiple secondary hydatid cysts in the abdomen, falciform ligament, spleen, right paracolic area, and sigmoid mesentery were exhibited to bring to mind the possibility of being an iatrogenic intraperitoneal spread at his previous surgical procedure.…”

To present an extraordinary and likely first case of secondary multiple intraabdominal hydatidosis, probably as a sequel to primary renal hydatid cyst surgery. A 34-year-old male who underwent a right nephrectomy four years ago for renal hydatidosis was admitted. His abdominopelvic computed tomography scan revealed the hypodense lesions adjacent to the anterior lobe of the liver, splenic hilus, right common iliac vein, and left paracolic area. He underwent the total surgical resection and the histopathologic evaluation revealed the hydatidosis (echinococcosis) and the medical therapy, Albendazole: 15 mg/kg/day, was administrated for three months. No recurrence has occurred after the clinical and radiologic follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, it is an extreme and first case of secondary multiple intraabdominal hydatidosis as a sequel to the primary renal echinococcosis surgery, in the English language literature. Providers should be aware of considering a primary focus as encountering multiple intraabdominal hydatidosis.

“…During surgery, the abdominal cavity is isolated using gauze soaked in scolicidal agents such as 20 % hypertonic saline or 10 % povidone-iodine to prevent dissemination and allergic reactions. 6 Other scolicidal agents include cetrimide, chlorhexidine, and absolute alcohol. Percutaneous aspiration of CE is not recommended, and albendazole is recommended in symptomatic cases or those with dissemination, with a dosage of 10–15 mg/kg/day for 1–3 months.…”
