Sumario:Hydatidosis is a rare parasitic disease that is endemic in many countries of the Mediterranean basin caused by the larval form of Echinococcus Granulosus. Among unusual localizations, renal involvement is rare, especially extension to the pleural cavity. Herein, we report a rare case of 75-year-old woman with giant renal hydatid cyst complicated by pleural extension. The patient was successfully treated with a median phreno-laparotomy.The renal hydatid cyst was completely emptied with resection of the epiploic hydatid cyst.The diaphragmatic breach was closed after resection of the necrotic margins. With 1 month albendazole therapy.
