Liver is commonly involved (65%) followed by lungs (25%); muscles (5%); bones (3%) [1]. However, renal hydatid cyst is still rare. It constitutes about 2.5 % of all localizations. It may create diagnostic dilemma at times. We describe a 55-year-old female with left renal hydatid disease managed with enucleation of cyst with nephron sparing surgery (NSS).}
