Özet

External compression of the heart may be presented as valvular heart disease. A 50-year-old woman with signs and symptoms of tricuspid stenosis was diagnosed with giant hepatic hydatid cyst. Symptoms were resolved after surgical excision. Echinococcosis should be in mind while evaluating patients with external cardiac compression.
