The hydatid disease of heart, caused by Echinococcus granulosus has an incidence of 0.5%-2% , in the sheep grazing areas of the developing and under-developed countries. The cyst of interventricular septum has a 5%-9% incidence with complications of conduction block and arrythmias. Transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) is useful for intraoperative cyst localization and excision. Our image review highlights the TEE findings of our young patient with multiple hydatid cysts of interventricular septum , with the septal tricuspid leaflet adherent to the cyst membrane.

Abstract Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection and a significant public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. A 79-year-old female patient was presented to the gynecology outpatient department with complaints of pain in the abdomen and difficulty in micturition, with a mass palpable per speculum. The ultrasound was suggestive of an ovarian cystadenocarcinoma, whereas computed tomography of the abdomen favored hydatid cyst with adnexal neoplasm as a differential diagnosis. Considering the contradictory findings, a frozen section was sent to confirm the diagnosis, which showed hooklets of Echinococcus granulosus/hydatid cyst under the microscope. This was a rare case of pelvic hydatid cyst mimicking ovarian malignancy and was associated with a less-preferred mode of investigation (frozen section). This article focuses on how a frozen section, despite its limitations and being expensive, can still be considered for accurate patient management.
