title: [Cardiac cysts. A case of isolated cardiac hydatidosis].
abstract: In the presence of cardiac cysts we must discard a hydatid disease, even if there is no involvement of other organs. Imaging techniques are useful for guiding the initial diagnosis. The presence of daughter vesicles or multiple cysts is very characteristic. We present a patient affected by cardiac hydatid disease, in the form of multiple cardiac cysts, without extracardiac affectation, who presented pericardial chest pain. The patient was dealt with surgery to avoid the risks of a cyst rupture.
