Hydatidosis is a zoonotic condition caused with prolong history of contact with dog by Echinococcus granulosus. It affects liver and lungs, but renal involvement is rare. We report a female patient who presented in the urology department with intense perineal itch and occasional flank pain. The patient was advised pathological and radiological investigations which revealed the presence of ruptured urinary hydatid cyst, an uncommon presentation of Echinococcus granulosus of the kidney. This case bears both clinical and laboratory importance required for early medical treatment of the patient to avoid surgical intervention. A diagnosis of renal hydatid cyst may be considered in patients presenting with perineal itch, flank pain and had a prolonged history of contact with a pet.
