Hydatid cyst disease, caused by the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm larval form, typically affects the liver, lungs, and genitourinary tract. This case report details an unusual manifestation of hydatid cysts in a 62-year-old male with a history of retrovesical hydatid cyst surgery. The patient presented with pain at the root of the penis, and subsequent imaging revealed cysts in the suprapubic, pubic bone, and left pectineus muscle regions. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the patient underwent surgical excision in 2023. The discussion emphasizes the rarity of such localized cysts, diagnostic imaging techniques, and the necessity of surgical intervention. The postoperative period involved a course of albendazole. While rectovesical hydatid cysts are uncommon, this case underscores the importance of considering them in the differential diagnosis of masses, particularly in endemic regions. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment for symptomatic hydatid cysts.

Schwannoma is usually a benign tumor of nervous origin arising from Schwann sheath cells. It is an extremely rare tumour because of its low incidence and its retrovescical localization. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations confirm the histological type as well as the benign or malignant origin of schwannoma. Because of the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation, excision must be complete. We report the case of a 39 years old patient, hospitalized for chronic pelvic pain accompanied by a sensation of heaviness, lower urinary tract irritation and urinary hesitancy. Diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI) of the pelvis showed a left-lateralized retrovescical mass with a thin wall, measuring 68x70x70 mm exerting mass effect on the bladder and the sigmoid. The surgical procedure, a midline laparotomy, allowed the removal of a well encapsulated retrovesical mass. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations concluded to a benign schwannoma. Recidivism and malignant transformation, although rare after surgery, impose postoperative clinical monitoring and annual CT scanning.

Angiomyxoma is a rare tumour found predominantly in pelvis of young females. Less than 150 cases have been reported, more than 90% in females and only few cases in males. Its surgical excision is a big challenge and usually leads to recurrence due to incomplete excision. We report a case of retrovesical Angiomyxoma in an elderly male. The aim of this report is to highlight the rarity of this disease, especially in males, and robotic assisted excision as an evolving option of treatment.

Hydatid disease of the urinary tract is uncommon, accounting for only 2-3% of cases. There are very few reported cases in the literature of pelvic hydatid cysts causing obstructive uropathy and renal failure. We report a case of pelvic hydatid cyst in a patient presenting with urinary retention and secondary complete atrophy of one kidney. The patient was treated with surgical excision of this large retrovesical cyst, along with a simple left nephroureterectomy, with rapid improvement of symptoms. Hydatid disease should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of a cystic mass in any anatomic localization, especially in patients from endemic areas.
