“…Therefore, it should not be forgotten that patients with cardiac hydatic cyst are often asymptomatic. [10,11] Although cardiac HCD is generally asymptomatic, since serious complications can occur, and rupture of cyst wall may cause sudden death, definitive treatment for cardiac hydatid cyst is surgery. Surgical mortality for cardiac hydatid cyst reportedly ranges between 0.29 and 0.6%.…”

Hydatid cyst disease (HCD) is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. Habitat of the disease is most frequently liver, followed by lungs; intracardiac occurrence is rare. When it occurs, cardiac involvement is more common in left ventricle, where blood supply is intense. Disease is extremely rare in right atrium. While following case at clinic with diagnosis of bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst, right atrium involvement was incidentally found. Since hydatid cyst disease with intracardiac localization is rarely seen, present report was prepared in order to draw attention to importance of thorough diagnosis and treatment of these patients.

An unusual echocardiographic appearance of a cardiac echinococcal lesion confirmed intraoperatively is described in a patient with nonspecific cardiac complaints. Although previous reports have emphasized the echolucent, often multiseptated nature of echinococcal lesions, such characteristics were absent in this case. Thus, in the appropriate clinical setting, echinococcal infection should be included in the differential diagnosis of solid mass lesions of the heart because the surgical approach may need to be altered.
