Hydatid disease is a common health problem in sheep-farming countries including Iran. The liver and lungs are the most frequent primary sites of hydatid cysts in humans. Cardiac involvement is an uncommon manifestation and the right ventricle outflow tract is rarely involved. This is a case report of a 34-year-old man who presented to the Heart Clinic, Tehran, Iran, in 2019 with a history of dyspnea and fatigue. Following imaging study, the patient was diagnosed with a right ventricular outflow tract hydatid cyst. He underwent surgical resection of the cyst. The post-operative course was uneventful.Keywords: Hydatid cyst; Right ventricular; Outflow obstruction; case report; Iran.

Septic pulmonary emboli (SPE) can be a difficult clinical entity to distinguish from thromboembolic pulmonary embolism (TPE) in a patient with history of IV drug abuse (IVDA). We present a case of a patient who presented with failure to thrive and presumed diagnosis of recurrent PE that ultimately was discovered to have fungal pulmonary valve endocarditis resulting in a right ventricular outflow obstruction. This required replacement of the pulmonary valve and repair of the right ventricular outflow tract. This case highlights difficulty in differentiating pulmonary valve endocarditis with septic emboli from chronic PE in a patient with a complex medical history.

AbstractIntracardiac hydatid cyst is relatively uncommon and involvement of right ventricular outflow tract is extremely rare. We report a rare case of intracardiac hydatid cyst involving the right ventricular outflow tract and do a review of literature.
