[Multiple pulmonary hydatidosis with floating balloon appearance and cardiac localization].

Multiple hydatidosis in a thoracic localization is unusual and a cardiac localization very exceptional. We report a case of multiple hydatidosis greatly improved by medical treatment with albendazole which was associated with a cardiac cyst successfully treated by surgical resection. No recurrence has been observed at 4 year follow-p. We point out therapeutic management options in these unusual forms of the disease.
