Abstract

A case of endometrioma of the right kidney with extensive involvement is presented. The patient complained of vague pain in the right lumbar region with no specific symptom relating to the kidney. An excretory urogram revealed a hydronephrotic kidney and diagnosis was a renal hydatid cyst. The 7 cases reported previously in the medical literature are reviewed briefly.
