Hydatid disease (HD) is caused by Echinococ- cus Granulosus (EG), which is a larva endemic in many undeveloped areas. The most common target is the liver (59%–75%). The retroperitoneal space is considered as a rare localization. We report an uncommon case of HD located in the adrenal gland space.

Abstract

The retroperitoneal space is considered as a rare localization. We report an uncommon case of HD located in the adrenal gland space.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
