Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Renal involvement is rarely seen as 2-4% of all cases. Rarely renal involvement is isolated whereas commonly it accompanies involvement of other organs. We aimed to present a 30-year-old male patient with renal involvement reaching a giant size and undiagnosed in another center.
