Isolated Cardiac hydatidosis is a rare
occurrence[1]. Involvement of left ventricle is more common
followed by right ventricle, interventricular septum, left atrium, right atrium
and interatrial septum. Here, we present a case report of 26-year-old male
patient who was suspected to have left ventricle cystic lesion on
2D-Echocardiography which was confirmed to be Hydatid cyst situated in
interventricular septum on Magnetic resonance imaging which is itself a rare
phenomenon.
