“…Although the kidney is the third most common location, renal hydatid disease (RHD) is rare and represents about 2% -4% of the cases of hydatid disease even in endemic regions, and isolated renal involvement is even rarer (2,4). Although, it is most often unilateral and isolated (5,6), a few cases of multiple and bilateral involvements have been reported in the literature. Here in, we report an isolated huge renal hydatid cyst in a 5-year-old boy presented with a right upper quadrant (RUQ) mass and vague pain without any scolices or hooklets in aspirated fluid mimicking a simple renal cyst.…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection mainly caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is endemic in many parts of the world. Although hydatid disease can be found anywhere in the human body, the liver and lungs are the most commonly involved organs. Urinary tract involvement has been seen in about 2% -4% of the cases; however, the isolated renal cyst is extremely rare. Here, we report a 5-year-old boy with an isolated huge renal hydatid cyst with no scolices or hooklets in aspirated fluid mimicking a simple renal cyst. The clinicians and radiologists should consider hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions found in any part of the body especially in endemic countries since earlier diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment.

Acid-fast staining has been utilized in the field of medicine since the late 1800s. It was, for a while, considered the gold standard for diagnosing leprosy and tuberculosis. Principally it uses 1 primary staining agent, carbol fuchsin; and methylene blue as a counter stain. The emergence of molecular-based diagnostic tests makes some of us question the relevance of acid-fast staining in daily practice. This literature review aimed to revisit the acid-fast staining method, its uses, and the modification that occurred throughout the years.
