Cardiac hydatid is rare at any age, accounting for less than 2% of all hydatid disease. The case is discussed of a 48-year-old female with a cardiac hydatid cyst attached intracavitary in the posterior wall of the right atrium. The Echinococcus cyst grows very slowly and, unless located in a critical anatomic site, it takes many years to evolve. Since the introduction of two-dimensional echocardiography, more cases are being diagnosed. The cyst was discovered incidentally by X-ray computed tomography and confirmed by trans-oesophageal echocardiography utilizing the wall-sign criteria developed by the authors. The cyst was removed surgically and the patient recovered by medical therapy.
心脏包虫病在任何年龄段都很罕见，占所有包虫病的比例不到2%。本文讨论了一例48岁女性患者，其右心房后壁心腔内附着有一个心脏包虫囊肿。棘球蚴囊肿生长非常缓慢，除非位于关键解剖部位，否则需要数年时间才会发展。自从二维超声心动图问世以来，诊断出的病例越来越多。该囊肿通过X线计算机断层扫描偶然发现，并通过经食管超声心动图利用作者制定的壁征标准得以确诊。囊肿通过手术切除，患者经药物治疗后康复。
