In this study, we have reported an unusual case of giant hydronephrosis of the right kidney diagnosed as a result of pain, and upon palpation the detection of an abdominal mass. An ultrasound examination also indicated the possible presence of a large abdominal liquid mass. The hydatic serology was negative. A complementary CT scan and retroperitoneal approach confirmed the diagnosis of a right giant hydronephrosis with a liquid content of 8 liters, caused by stricture at the pyeloureteral junction with destruction of the kidney. The liquid was drained off. Based on the findings in this case, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and investigation of giant hydronephrosis have been discussed. In the event of giant hydronephrosis with total destruction of the kidney following an anomaly at the pyeloureteral junction, nephrectomy has to be performed. In the presence of a retroperitoneal liquid mass and in the absence of other pathological signs, the diagnosis of a possible giant hydronephrosis should be taken into consideration.
