  • Title: [Echinococcus cyst of the right ventricle. Diagnosis and therapy of a rare disease picture].
    Author: Richter D, Bosse A, Weber A, Farah I, Laczkovics A.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 2001 Jan; 126(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 11227298.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac involvement is only found in less than 2% of all patients with echinococcosis. The case of a 68-year old woman suffering from a hydatid cyst in the wall of the right ventricle is reported. The clinical, radiological, serological, and histological findings are demonstrated. Immediate relief from the symptoms was accomplished by surgical resection of the cyst without the use of a cardio-pulmonary bypass. The problems of correct diagnosis and therapy of this rare disease are discussed with reference to literature.
