Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2017 Februrary
Hydatid cyst is a tissue parasitic infection caused by tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Common location for hydatid cysts are the liver (65%) and the lungs (25%). Cardiac hydatid cyst is seen rarely, occurring in about 0.5-2% of all cases of hydatid disease. We present this case of 45 years female who presented with short duration of dry cough and atypical chest pain. Chest X ray showed cardiomegaly with round bulge at the right heart border and curvilinear calcification in left upper abdomen in the region of spleen. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) depicted cystic lesion in Right Ventricle free wall causing compression of right atrial and ventricular cavity. Cardiac CT confirmed this cyst as hydatid cyst. Patient underwent successful excision of right ventricular hydatid cyst.
