Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a common parasitic human infestation found in sheep-breeding areas. It is caused by the larvae stage of Echinococcus granulosus, and cysts develop mostly in the lungs and the liver. Cardiac involvement is unusual and silent until acute complications or a fatal outcome occurs. Herein, we report an autopsy case of a young healthy adult who died suddenly. The autopsy revealed an external bulging on the right heart ventricle outlet with a fluid-filled cystic cavity discovered on sectioning. Dissection of other organs did not reveal other cyst locations. Histological examination ascertained the diagnosis of hydatid cyst, and death was attributed to cardiac arrhythmias. Pathologists should keep in mind that hydatid cysts can develop anywhere in the body. Solitary cardiac cyst is rare and can simulate a “silent bomb”. Unfortunately, sudden death remains the frequent manner of revelation of this disease in endemic areas.

Cardiac Hydatid Cysts are uncommonly encountered entity of hydatid disease. Presentation may be with non-specific symptoms and sometimes with life threatening events. We present a rare case of a 9-year-old female who was diagnosed with a Cardiac Hydatid Cyst in the right ventricle, and underwent successful surgical excision

Hydatidosis disease is commonly localized in the lungs and liver and the radical treatment remains surgery. Cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare and particular location disease that can be associated with serious complications. The most common site in the heart according to the is the left ventricle. We describe a case of cardiac hydatid cyst localized between the right atrium and right ventricle on the tricuspid valve in a 15-year-old patient.
