Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst, a rare novel differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses: A case report

The presence of primary retroperitoneal hydatid cysts is rare, even in endemic areas. The authors report a young man with a retroperitoneal hydatid cyst who underwent total cystectomy. The surgeons should suspect hydatid cysts in case of any abdominal cysts, especially in endemic areas, and avoid any spillage and puncture.
