Abstract

Cardiac hydatid disease is rare, but life threatening. A pedunculated hydatid cyst which mimicked a left atrial myxoma was diagnosed on two-dimensional echocardiography. The degree of cardiac involvement at necropsy was much greater than indicated by either echocardiography or limited cardiac catheterization. The suggestion that only echocardiography be performed before surgery is undertaken may be inappropriate in many cases.

Key Words: Cardiac hydatid disease • echocardiography
