    Abstract:
    A case of isolated cardiac echinococcosis is reported. A 19-year-old man was hospitalized for chest pain with electrocardiographic pathological Q waves in D1, aVL, V5, V6. Two-dimensional echocardiography and chest computed tomography documented pericardial effusion and an intramyocardial cyst. Casoni's reaction and immunological tests completed the diagnosis of cardiac hydatidosis. The localization and the etiology of the cyst were confirmed during cardiac surgery.
