“…In radiological imaging, specific findings of hydatid cysts are calcification of the cyst wall, presence of daughter cysts, and membrane detachment. CT is reported to be the best imaging modality that shows wall calcification, whereas anatomic neighborhood of hydatid cysts, the status of the cystic structures and the exact anatomical position are best indicated by MRI [29,31] .…”

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.

“…Heart involvement is uncommon and accounts for less than 0.5% of the cases, it is usually part of a disseminated infection. 2 This localization is potentially fatal without surgical treatment but fortunately with the improvement of surgical techniques, its morbidity has declined drastically. Our patient underwent open heart surgery to remove a left ventricular wall cyst without local recurrence and a post-surgical echocardiography without abnormalities.…”

Hydatidosis is a pathology that is still common. The hydatid cyst commonly involves the liver and lung. Cases of multi visceral echinococcosis with atypical localization are rare. We report the case of a 53-year-old Tunisian farmer with a multiple organ hydatidosis that included 13 hydatid cysts: the lungs, the liver, the left heart ventricle, the left kidney, the abdomen cavity, muscles (psoas, adductors), and subcutaneous gluteal area. The majority of these cysts was already treated surgically, and some were due to be removed.

“…It can also occur in the right ventricle, left atrium, the septum, and pericardium [10]. Elevation of cardiac enzymes might occur as a result of decreased coronary perfusion due to the effect of the cysts [11]. Atrial natriuretic peptide may also be detectable if the cardiac cyst was associated with heart failure by impairing the relaxation of the ventricles [12].…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm Echinococcus. It has a worldwide distribution, but it is endemic in certain geographic locations. Hydatid disease can almost involve any body organ. However, cardiac involvement is exceedingly rare. We report the case of young girl presenting with chest pain and shortness of breath. She had a history of renal hydatid cyst for which she underwent surgical resection. After thorough investigation, she was found to have a hydatid cyst involving the left ventricular wall. The patient's family refused surgical management, and she had received medical treatment in the form of albendazole which showed dramatic improvement in her condition. This case shed light on the importance of having a high index of suspicion for this condition, particularly in those patients with a history of hydatid cysts in other organs
