Özet

Cardiac hydatid cyst is an uncommon lesion. The infection, often acquired by children during play with infected dogs, is most common in sheep-raising areas of the world. We report our clinical and surgical experience in the treatment of one of the youngest reported cardiac hydatidosis patients with multivisceral involvement.
