Area of Science:

Cardiology
Parasitology
Surgical Oncology

Background:

Hydatid cysts in the heart are uncommon, posing unpredictable risks and complications.
Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for managing cardiac hydatid disease.

Observation:

A 19-year-old female presented with a cardiac hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum.
The patient also had a secondary pulmonary echinococcus infection, confirmed via CT and MRI.

Findings:

Surgical resection of the cardiac hydatid cyst was successfully performed using extracorporeal circulation via a right auriculotomy.
Postoperative recovery was favorable, and pulmonary lesions were managed medically.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical management for cardiac hydatid cysts.
