ABSTRACT: Hydatid cyst is common in the liver and lung but extremely rare in pelvic
cavity. Pelvic hydatid cyst may present with pressure symptoms on ureter or urinary
bladder and may result in bilateral hydronephrosis or retention of urine. Bilateral
hydroureteronephrosis is one of the rare presentations of pelvic hydatid disease.
Hereby, we report two cases of primary pelvic hydatid cyst: one was with bilateral hydronephrosis with nonfunctioning
right kidney and another was asymptomatic.
