    Author: Modani S, Karthik DK, Heda S, Deshpande A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2018 Jun 15; 2018():. PubMed ID: 29909390.
    Abstract:
    We report a 57-year-old man presenting with symptoms of sharp pricking, exertional retrosternal chest pain multiple times, each episode lasting for a few seconds. On evaluation, the ECG of the patient showed normal sinus rhythm with T wave inversions in leads V1-V3. Troponin T test was negative. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a globular mass in the interventricular septum. Cardiac MRI was suspicious of the lesion to be a hydatid cyst. Surgical excision of the lesion followed by histopathology was confirmatory of hydatid cyst.
