Adenocarcinoma of the bladder is a rare histologic variant representing only 0.5–2 % of bladder cancer.We report the case of 83-year old male patient who consulted for gross hematuria evolving for one month.CT scan showed a 3-cm tumor of the anterior wall of the bladder.The patient underwent transurthral resection of the bladder tumor. Histological examination concluded in a bladder adenocarcinoma with intestinal-type glands with no invasion of the bladder muscle. Multidisciplinary staff decided follow-up by cystoscopy. Primary bladder adenocarcinomas are very rare, their pathogenesis is not well known, and some risk factors have been suggested.

Our case concerns 66-year-old female with a multiple unusual locations of hydatid cysts including bladder, psoas muscle and liver. Coexistence of hydatid cysts in these localizations has not been previously reported. The diagnosis of vesical hydatid cyst was facilitated by the coexistence of other echinococcosis locations. Treatment consists of the excision of the cysts in the same session without any postoperative anthelmintic drugs. In a two-year follow-up no recurrence has occurred.
