AbstractCardiac hydatid cysts are a rare presentation of hydatid cyst disease in the body, with a reported cardiac involvement rate of <2%. The left ventricle is the most common site of cardiac involvement. Here, we report a patient with a hydatid cyst that ruptured into the pericardium after producing an aneurysm on the right ventricular free wall, appearing as fibrinated fluid and a solid mass lesion in the pericardium. Our aim in this case report was to emphasise that the possibility of a hydatid cyst should not be overlooked in the differential diagnosis of pericardial tumours.

Isolated hydatid disease of the breast is a rare condition, possessing a diagnostic dilemma for the clinicians. Hydatid disease is common in endemic areas affecting most commonly the liver and lungs. Other organs rarely involved are the kidney, bone and brain. It is caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, widely spread by cattle and sheep. Humans are the accidental host for this organism. We present a similar case of isolated hydatid cyst of the breast, which was diagnosed preoperatively and managed successfully.

Hydatid cyst (HD) disease is a parasitic infection produced by cysts containing the Echinococcus granulosus larval phase. Patients with HC are typically asymptomatic until incidentally diagnosed or when complications occur. A rare presentation of liver HC is spontaneous cutaneous fistualization; we report a 63- year-old female patient admitted in the hospital in 2019 (Al-Thora General Hospital, Ibb, Yemen) with an infected cutaneous fistula induced by a ruptured HC. The patient underwent laparotomy and partial cystectomy with excision of the fistula tract. The main purpose of this report is for physicians to consider this diagnosis when they face an unusual cutaneous fistula near HC common involved organs, especially in areas where the prevalence of this disease is high. We also briefly discuss the management and outcome of this disease. Keywords: Case Report; Complications; Cutaneous Fistula; Echinococcosis; Liver; Surgery.
