Pre-operative diagnostic accuracy of hydatid diseasebased on different methods (n = 30).

<p>Cochran's Q test was used to compare the pre-operative diagnostic accuracy rate of ultrasound, computed tomography, and serology.</p

Type CE2 disease in a 28-year-old Uighur female patient.

<p>The patients has been found with an asymptomatic cystic mass in her left kidney by ultrasonography incidentally and diagnosed as renal hydatid cyst by further CT scanning one year before her admission to the hospital. She had a history of exposure to sheep and goats. And no family history of hydatid disease was identified. Physical examination observed a palpable mass in the left lumber region. Ultrasound revealed a univesicular cyst of 104×78×83 mm on the upper pole of the left kidney; CT confirmed the presence of hydatid cysts in the kidney.</p

Intraoperative view of total external capsule excision.

<p>View of the hydatid cyst located in the in the left kidney (A); carefully dividing the intact ectocyst through the intra-adventitial space (B); Total cystectomy was performed A wound after complete removal of hydatid (A–B). Communicated with perirenal space during the procedure, and was closed by absorbable sutures and a F14 nephrostomy tube was placed in the calyx. A drainage was placed on perirenal space confirming no significant hemorrhage on surgical field, the wound was closed(C–D). Gross appearance and histopathologic examination of the cystic mass confirmed the hydatid disease, pathological analysis of the resected specimen was positive for scolices of Echinococcus granulosus (E–F).</p
