Primary echinococcosis of the heart is exceptionally uncommon and is reported 0.5% to 2% of all hydatid cyst sites in comparison with liver (70%) or lung (20%) involvement. Hydatid disease of the heart is caused by the cestode tapeworm echinococcosis granulosis or alveolaris. We present a 29-year-old female with hydatid disease of the liver and heart. She only complained of abdominal pain and palpitation. Echocardiography and multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) showed a 120×101 mm cyst in the liver and 64 mm in the right ventricular free wall. Both cysts were excised within one procedure successfully.
心脏原发性包虫病极为罕见,据报道在所有包虫囊肿发病部位中占0.5%至2%,而肝脏受累占70%,肺部受累占20%。心脏包虫病由细粒棘球绦虫或多房棘球绦虫引起。我们报告一名29岁女性患有肝和心脏包虫病。她仅主诉腹痛和心悸。超声心动图和多层计算机断层扫描(MSCT)显示肝脏有一个120×101毫米的囊肿,右心室游离壁有一个64毫米的囊肿。在一次手术中成功切除了两个囊肿。
