RESUMO
Although echinococcosis (echinococcal hydatidosis) is common in sheep-raising countries such as Turkey, cardiac involvement is rare; the presence of a hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum is rarer still. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum that was first revealed by 2-dimensional echocardiography and then confirmed by right ventricular angiography. The cyst was removed surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass.
