“…7 Because of life threatening complications of hydatid cyst such as compression, rupture or stenosis of vital structures and etc, surgical treatment is a necessity. 8 Left ventricle is the most common area which involved with the hydatid cyst (55%-60%), because of its maximum blood supply. 9 Therefore, one of the most important causes for ventricular aneurysm or cystic cardiac lesions is hydatid cyst, especially in endemic areas.…”

Hydatidosis commonly affect the liver and lungs but in rare cases, it can involve heart tissue. A 42-year-old man from urban areas of Khorasan Razavi province, northeastern Iran, was referred to the cardiac clinic with palpitation, and atypical chest pain in 2018. Large pericardial effusion, reduced left ventricle systolic function was found. A cystic-like lesion was also seen in inter-ventricular septum in echocardiography and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Urgent cardiac surgery was done because of echocardiographic evidence of tamponade. Although the serologic analysis was negative for hydatidosis, surgical excision of cyst and the subsequent histopathological findings revealed a hydatid cyst. In endemic areas, hydatidosis should be considered in differential diagnosis of any cystic-like lesions, even if the serological analysis is negative.

We report a 57-year-old man presenting with symptoms of sharp pricking, exertional retrosternal chest pain multiple times, each episode lasting for a few seconds. On evaluation, the ECG of the patient showed normal sinus rhythm with T wave inversions in leads V1-V3. Troponin T test was negative. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a globular mass in the interventricular septum. Cardiac MRI was suspicious of the lesion to be a hydatid cyst. Surgical excision of the lesion followed by histopathology was confirmatory of hydatid cyst.

“…Its symptom depends on the size and site of infestation. Hydatid cysts are commonly found in the liver (50%-70% of cases), lungs(5%-30%), muscles (5%), bones (3%), kidneys (2%), spleen (1%) and brain (1%) 1,2 . Isolated cardiac involvement is rare and occurs in only 0.02-2% of cases 5 .It is reported from nearly all geographic areas of Bangladesh but cardiac hydatidcysts are not yet reported.…”

Cardiac Hydatid Cyst: First Ever Documented Case in Bangladesh

Hydatid cystic disease results from infection with the larval or adult form of the Echinococcus Granulosus(tapeworm). Cardiac involvement is seen in 0.5% to 2% of patients withhydatid disease and involvement of the right atrium(RA), main pulmonary artery(MPA) and right pulmonary artery(RPA) are very rare.In this case a 22-yr-old farmer woman from Raigong, Sirajgong, Bangladesh presented to the ShahidZiaur Rahman Medical College hospital, Bogra with the complaints of breathlessness for 10 months; haemoptysis and chest pain for last 3 months.CT scan of the chest showed cystic lesion on right hilar region with right sided pulmonary inflammatory lesion. CT guided FNAC revealed benign right bronchogenic cyst. Echocardiography showed right atrial(RA) thrombus. CT angiogram report showed complete occlusion of right pulmonary artery(RPA) with thrombus, main pulmonary artery(MPA) was partially occluded with thrombus &thrombus in right atrium(RA). Under cardiopulmonary bypass, a multiloculated mass was removed from RA and a cyst like structure removed from MPA and RPA. Histopathological report of the biopsy specimen revealed hydatid cyst and presence of EchinococcusAb confirmed the diagnosis of Hydatid disease.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2017; 32(2) : 125-129
