Abstract
Hydatidosis is a parasitic infection, often disseminated, common in breeding countries with contact with dogs. Caused by cysts containing larvae of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosis pulmonary localization is the most frequent followed by hepatic damage, cardiac extension is infrequent, involvement of the right ventricle is extremely rare. Which may progress to fatal complications such as cardiogenic shock and massive pulmonary embolism. We report the observation of a young patient presenting for atypical chest pain with discovery of a solitary hydatid cyst in the right heart.
