“…Hydatic cyst is an endemic parasitic disease, mostly occuring in livestock keeping countries. Ingested parasitic larvae migrate through the intestinal mucosa and are mainly carried to the liver by the portal venous circulation [1] . Larvae reach the left side of the heart via coronary circulation and the inflammatory response to the presence of parasitic involvement creates an adventitial pericystic layer.…”

“…The patient underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. A bulging mass between the RV and LV on the epicardial surface was observed on every heart beat, which indicated the account for only 0,5%-2% of all hydatid infestations [1] . Hydatid cyst of İVS, which has different characteristics from right-sided cysts, is the one with infrequent location of cardiac involvements [2] .…”

“…Hydatid cyst of İVS, which has different characteristics from right-sided cysts, is the one with infrequent location of cardiac involvements [2] . The presentation of hydatid cyst ranges from asymptomatic to sudden death [1] . As it was seen in our case, it may remain silent and is diagnosed incidentally.…”

“…Cardiac hydatidosis should be suspected in patients with nonspecific symptoms, especially in endemic areas with high occurrence of hydatid infestation. The myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) is more frequently involved, reaching two-three folds more than the right ventricle (RV), with much less involvement of the interventricular septum (IVS) [1] .…”

The cardiac involvement of hydatid cyst, which is rarely seen, with the location of asymptomatic huge cyst in the interventricular septum (IVS) is an extraordinary condition. We report an isolated cardiac hydatid cyst located in the IVS in an 18-year-old man diagnosed incidentally by transthoracic echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a mass lesion of 47×74 mm in diameter located at the base of IVS. The cystic content and its germinative membrane were resected and the cavity was applicated under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 6 th postoperative day, with oral albendazole therapy.

“…Но они могут попасть в малый круг кровообращения и задержаться в легких, как во втором «фильтре». А если проходят через легкие, то рассеиваются с током крови по всему организму [2,10]…”
