Right Atrial Hydatid Cyst with Multiple Organ Involvement

Cardiac hydatid disease is uncommon, especially in children. A 13-year-old girl had pulmonary and renal hydatidosis diagnosed by chest radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Serologic tests for hydatidosis were positive. A right atrial hydatid cyst was diagnosed on two-dimensional echo-cardiography. Medical treatment with albendazole was started and the cyst was successfully removed.
