[Hydatid cyst of the right heart and post-embolic pulmonary hypertension]
Abstract:
A 22-year old man with hydatid cyst of the right ventricle presented, for about 10 years, with clinical signs of post-embolic pulmonary hypertension. Despite tumoral resection, the patient died post-operatively of his pulmonary hypertension. Post-mortem examination showed a hydatid cyst on the main pulmonary artery and fixed post-embolic pulmonary hypertension, but we were unable to determine whether we were dealing with old migrated cysts or blood clot emboli developed in contact with the cardiac tumour.
