Cardiac echinococcosis has not been reported frequently. Because of the risk of potentially lethal complications, early diagnosis and definitive treatment are very important. The case of a 41-year-old physician, in whom diagnosis of giant left ventricular hydatid cyst was established with cross-sectional echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, is presented. The cyst was removed surgically and mitral valve replacement performed because of destruction of the valve.
心脏包虫病的报道并不常见。由于存在潜在致命并发症的风险，早期诊断和确定性治疗非常重要。本文介绍了一名41岁医生的病例，通过超声心动图和磁共振成像确诊为巨大左心室包虫囊肿。囊肿通过手术切除，并因瓣膜破坏进行了二尖瓣置换术。
