[Metastatic pulmonary echinococcosis secondary to a primary cardiac lesion situated in the interventricular septum. One case successfully treated surgically (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of metastatic pulmonary echinococcosis secondary to a primary cardiac lesion. The diagnosis was made on the basis of round pulmonary lesions developing during an episode of cardiac diseases which had been labelled as idiopathic acute pericarditis. The septal site then suspected on the basis of minor conduction disturbances was confirmed by angiography and could be excised under extracorporeal circulation.
