Abstract
Purpose of Review
We sought to discuss the current literature on the hydatid disease of the bladder. We will shed light on history and physical findings, successful diagnostic work ups, and the various treatment options.
Recent Findings
Currently, the literature on hydatid disease of the bladder is primarily case studies with limited number of patients. While hydatid disease is prevalent in endemic areas, hydatid disease of the bladder is rare and presents after years of cyst enlargement and subsequent symptoms.
Summary
Clinical manifestations usually depend on the site and size of the cysts; however, patients can present with a wide array of nonspecific symptoms. Diagnostic tools include laboratory testing for serum antigen, radiographic evaluation with ultrasound, or CT/MRI. Surgical excision represents the corner stone in management of hydatid disease of the bladder without recurrence in 100% of the reported cases.
