Abstract

 

Introduction: When the disease is in rare localization and especially has not a typical appearance of hydatid cyst,

incorrect definitive diagnosis may be defined mistakenly, since the disease may be easily missed unless being

careful.

Case Report: We present a patient affected by echinococcosis with rare localizations such as thyroid, abdominal

wall and kidney.

Discussion: Especially in endemic and sporadic echinococcosis areas, hydatid disease must be always considered

wherever cysts are established.

Keys Words: Hydatid Disease, Thyroid, Abdominal Wall, Kidney, Computed Tomography.
