Intramyocardial hydatid cyst: a mistaken identity and its successful removal on a beating heart

Bathala Vedagiri Sai Chandran et al. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2011 Aug.

Abstract

Hydatid cyst of the heart is a rare but potentially fatal disease. There have been reports of the occurrence of such cysts, but we present here a unique experience of mistaken identity of a right ventricular intramyocardial hydatid cyst for a mediastinal hydatid cyst, leading to a dangerous intraoperative procedure.
