  • Title: Hydatid cysts of the bilateral pulmonary arteries and left ventricle wall: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
    Author: Tercan F, Kacar N, Kilic D, Oguzkurt L, Turkoz R, Habesoglu MA.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 2005; 29(1):31-3. PubMed ID: 15665679.
    Abstract:
    Echinococcal cysts located inside the pulmonary artery are extremely rare. The cause is usually rupture of intracardiac cysts or, more rarely, dissemination from a hepatic focus. The case of a 39-year-old patient with multiple hydatid cysts in the right and left pulmonary arteries and left ventricle wall is reported. The patient had undergone surgery for a hepatic hydatid cyst 10 years ago. Multidetector computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed for the diagnostic evaluation.
