Abstract
A rare case of a retroperitoneal cyst of Echinococcus granulosus in a male adult is presented, Due to its extension and infiltration of impo rtant anatomical structures the hydatid cyst could not be completely r emoved by operation, Therefore the patient was treated with albendazol e for 10 months after surgery, The efficiency of this combined therapy was documented by CT-scan, specific blood tests and histopathological findings.
