“…They tend to expand inside the right ventricular cavity and in the subendocardial space and are more prone to rupture, which can lead to pulmonary embolism, anaphylaxis and sudden death. Left ventricular hydatid cysts grow as subepicardial masses and rarely rupture in the pericardial space [19,20] .The endocardium is easily invaded by hydatid cyst for the obvious reason that endocardium does not give inflammatory reaction like the pericardium [21] . Septal cyst can cause atrioventricular (AV) block by conduction disturbance [22] .…”

Introduction: Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly seen in the liver and lungs. The hydatid cyst is rarely seen in the heart and iliofemoral region, representing less than 2% of all cases. In this article, we report our cases of hydatid cysts in unusual loci. Methods: Between 2015 and 2018, 6 rare cases of hydatid cysts were diagnosed at the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Harran University. Four of these patients had cardiac localization and two patients had their cysts located in the iliofemoral region, extending to the pelvic zone. All patients were female. Three patients had no other organ involvement. One patient with cardiac hydatid cyst underwent normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass + total pericystectomy + Cooley-like aneurysmectomy. Total pericystectomy was performed in three other patients with intrathoracic locus by normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Two patients who were referred to our clinic with palpable iliofemoral mass were evaluated with appropriate imaging methods and diagnosed accordingly. Multiple iliofemoral cysts were managed with pericystectomy and drainage by a single incision made over the inguinal ligament. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst disease can develop in cardiac chambers and inguinal region with or without hepatic or pneumatic involvement. Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass can be safely used in patients with cardiac hydatid cysts, and capitonnage similar to ventricular aneurysm repair in patients with a widely involved cystic lesion can be very useful for the protection of ventricular functions.

“…Generally, the symptoms of the hydatid cyst only occur when the cyst expands. Patient symptoms can include allergic reactions [24] , heart failure [25] , exertional angina [26] , arrhythmias [27] , heart block [20,28] , cardiac tamponade [21] and sudden death [29] .…”

“…Finally, the progression of the disease may cause symptoms like dyspnea, hemoptysis, and chest pain, and anaphylactic shock may develop due to leakage of the hydatid cyst fluid. Early diagnosis with imaging studies and treatment are the main aspects of preventing complications [ 6 – 8 ].…”

Pulmonary embolism due to hydatid cysts is a very rare clinical entity. Hydatid pulmonary embolism can be distinguished from other causes of pulmonary embolism with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI especially displays the cystic nature of lesions better than CECT. Here we report a 45-year-old male patient with the pulmonary embolism due to ruptured hydatid liver cyst into the inferior vena cava.

“…Peripheral calcifications and membranes can also be seen (8,9). Contrast-enhanced images may demonstrate the lesion more clearly; however, in patients with supporting clinical findings and history, intra-arterial HC can also be diagnosed with non-contrast-enhanced MDCT.…”

“…The treatment of pulmonary artery HC consists of the surgical removal of cysts by embolectomy with/without enucleation and subsequently, albendazole, particularly if the lesion is localized (6,9,10). However, rupture of the cyst may result in disease dissemination or anaphylactic shock (1,4,10).…”

An 88-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a long-term history of cough, dyspnea, and fatigue. She had no history of smoking or biomass exposure. Her medical history revealed that she was treated with an antibiotic for three months eight years ago, but she did not recall the name of the drug or the indication. The results of routine blood testing and physical examination were unremarkable however, renal function test results were poor. The C-reactive protein level was 23 mg/L. Cardiac enzymes were at normal levels. Chest X-ray revealed a right hilar lobulated mass. Intravenous contrast could not be infused due to high creatinine levels. Non-contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) of the chest showed a well-delineated, nodular, hypodense mass with fluid attenuation in the right pulmonary artery (Figure 1) and multiple millimetric, hypodense lesions filling the upper lobe branches and surrounding the parenchyma (Figure 2, 3). The right ventricle volume and main pulmonary artery width were within normal limits. There was no flattening or paradoxical bowing of the interventricular septum. There were no visible lesions in the right atrium. A hypodense lesion with visible septa was shown adjacent to the inferior vena cava at images through the abdomen (Figure 4). a.Pulmonary thromboemboli b.Pulmonary artery sarcoma c.Fat embolism d.Hydatid cyst embolism e.Lung cancer invading pulmonary artery
