Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus or, less commonly, Echinococcus multilocularis. It remains a significant public health concern in endemic areas, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Due to its non-specific clinical presentation and the often inconclusive nature of standard laboratory tests, diagnosis can be challenging. The liver is the most commonly affected organ, involved in approximately 70% of cases, while pulmonary involvement occurs in about 25%, due to larvae bypassing hepatic filtration. Renal involvement is relatively uncommon, accounting for 2–4% of all hydatid cyst cases, with isolated kidney involvement being extremely rare, seen in only 1.9% of cases. Here, we report a rare case of an isolated renal hydatid cyst in a pediatric patient, in whom the diagnosis was delayed due to its atypical presentation.
