The clinical polymorphism of this particular location of the hydatid disease, and the lack of specificity of the symptoms explain the importance of radiologic explorations. We report the case of a patient in whom a voluminous hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland. The CT scan had demonstrated the presence of a calcified hydatid cyst in the right adrenal gland.
