Abstract

Hydatid disease and tuberculosis are both endemic in India. The involvement of the kidney in any of these diseases is rare and co-occurrence of both pathologies at the same time is extremely rare. The common characteristics of both conditions i.e., remain asymptomatic for a long duration and present with non-specific symptoms make the diagnosis challenging. Moreover, the treatment of both pathologies at the same time requires multifaceted medical management and surgical intervention at the optimal time. Here, we are describing a case of renal hydatid with tuberculosis in a child, its presentation and management along with the review of pertinent literature.
