Abstract

IntroductionHydatid cysts mainly involve the liver and lungs, other areas may rarely be affected by the disease. Urinary bladder hydatid cysts are extremely rare. The aim of this study is to review hydatid cysts of the bladder.

MethodsWe conducted a systematic literature search using various PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were explored to identify papers that discussed hydatid cysts in the urinary bladder. Studies with incomplete reports or insufficient data were excluded, as were those published in predatory journals.  The studies were identified through both electronic and manual searches. Sociodemographic and clinical data were extracted and discussed.

ResultsThe study included 122 articles, 6 studies were for full assessment and review. Seven cases were found in the papers, 4 patients (57%) were female, and 3 patients (43%) were male. Surgical intervention was the mainstay of the management without significant complications.

ConclusionBladder hydatid cyst is a rare condition with few reported cases.  It presents a diagnostic challenge to the physician. Surgical intervention is the best management option.
