  • Title: Intramyocardial hydatid cyst: a mistaken identity and its successful removal on a beating heart.
    Author: Sai Chandran BV, Durga Prasad R, Sudarsan Reddy P, Subbarao VK.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2011 Aug; 13(2):208-10. PubMed ID: 21596759.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid cyst of the heart is a rare but potentially fatal disease. There have been reports of the occurrence of such cysts, but we present here a unique experience of mistaken identity of a right ventricular intramyocardial hydatid cyst for a mediastinal hydatid cyst, leading to a dangerous intraoperative procedure.
