Cardiac hydatid cyst disease is uncommon, representing approximately 0.2% to 2% of all cyst-related cases. Cardiac hydatid cysts are found mostly within the myocardium. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the interventricular septum or in the left ventricular wall. Only few cases of pericardial location have been reported; isolated pericardial hydatid cysts are especially extremely rare. Patients with a cardiac hydatid cyst are usually asymptomatic. We present the case of an asymptomatic patient with isolated pericardial hydatid cyst disease and discuss the role of chest X-rays in the incidental diagnosis of this condition.
心脏包虫囊肿病并不常见,约占所有囊肿相关病例的0.2%至2%。心脏包虫囊肿大多位于心肌内。大多数心脏包虫囊肿位于室间隔或左心室壁。仅有少数心包部位的病例报道;孤立性心包包虫囊肿尤为罕见。心脏包虫囊肿患者通常无症状。我们报告一例无症状的孤立性心包包虫囊肿病患者,并讨论胸部X线在该病偶然诊断中的作用。
