“…La ecocardiografía transtorácica es la herramienta diagnóstica de primera línea, con una sensibilidad mayor del 90% 8 que permite localizar, determinar el tamaño y describir algunas características del quiste hidatídico. Sin embargo, no brinda una clara diferenciación entre la amplia variedad de tumoraciones cardiacas 9 , y por ello la RM cardiaca representa una excelente técnica que, además de brindar precisión topográfica exacta para la evaluación quirúrgica posterior, complementa el diagnóstico diferencial 10 . Así, el quiste hidatídico se visualiza como una imagen hipointensa en T1, mientras que en T2 se muestra hiperintenso, rodeado de una capa periquística que aparece como un anillo hipointenso secundario a la reacción tisular del huésped 6 .…”

We report a rare case of isolated cardiac involvement by hydatid disease in a young female patient, who presented with a recent onset of chest pain and discomfort. The radiological investigations showed an intramyocardial hydatid cyst in the right ventricle-free wall, protruding into the right ventricular cavity. The lesion exhibited characteristic MRI findings of crumpled serpiginous detached membranes within it and delayed peripheral enhancement on dynamic postcontrast late-phase MRIs. The positive hydatid serology consolidated the imaging findings. The patient underwent surgical excision of the hydatid cyst.

Background Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection which is endemic in multiple regions across the globe including Indian subcontinent. Although it commonly affects the liver and other solid organs, isolated involvement of the heart is relatively uncommon. Cardiac hydatidosis can be confidently diagnosed on echocardiography, but cross-sectional imaging by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides accurate information about its location, extent, and multiplicity. Multiple case studies of cardiac hydatid disease have been reported in the literature. However, cardiac hydatidosis with extension into pulmonary vasculature has not been reported commonly. This case report highlights this rare association, with stress upon the altered surgical management. Case presentation A 50-year-old patient presented with atypical chest pain to the cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital where he underwent multiple blood tests as well as electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography as part of the routine examination. Echocardiography revealed a large, multicystic mass invading the posterolateral wall of left ventricle (LV) with no internal vascularity and was provisionally diagnosed as hydatid disease. Subsequent CT study confirmed a large multicystic lesion with the presence of another smaller lesion invading the left atrial appendage (LAA). In order to evaluate the vascular and mediastinal invasion, cardiac MRI was then performed which revealed invasion of right pulmonary artery (PA), right superior pulmonary vein (PV) as well as compression of superior vena cava (SVC) by the smaller lesion. A final diagnosis of cardiac hydatidosis with invasion into right PA and right superior PV was made. Treatment plan for the patient changed, who then underwent an additional reconstruction of right PA and right superior PV after cyst removal. Conclusions Cardiac hydatid disease is a rare but potentially lethal condition, which tends to show slow growth and local invasion. The diversity of findings in such rare cases makes individual surgical approach extremely valuable with preoperative radiological imaging becoming indispensable for correct localization and appropriate planning. Our case report highlights rare association of cardiac hydatidosis with invasion of both pulmonary artery and vein, which eventually altered the surgical management of patient.
