Abstract: Urinary hydatidosis is very rare and represents 2% to 4% of all cases of cystic echinococcosis. We present a case of a 21-yearold man with symptoms of frequency, urinary retention and reduced force in urinary stream due to cystic echinococcosis. Anti-Echinococcus granulosus antibodies were determined by echinococcosis western blotting, and pelvic computed tomography revealed a 11 × 14 × 10-cm retrovesical homogeneous cystic mass.
