A rare case report of a young male patient presented with a pericardial hydatid cyst

In cardiac echinococcosis, the pericardium is rarely affected. In this report, we present an uncommon case of a pericardial hydatid cyst in a 24-year-old male patient who presented with a clinical picture of abdominal pain, vomiting, and shortness of breath. After he was admitted, he underwent investigations that included a cardiac echocardiography. He had a resection of that cyst via a midline sternotomy. His condition improved, and he was discharged home. We believe it is important to describe this case due to the remarkable rarity of this entity and the morbidity associated with the delay in diagnosis.
