Abstract
CARDIAC HYDATIDOSIS. REPORT OF ONE CASE Hydatidosis is an endemic zoonosis in Chile. We report a 48 years old former animal slaughterer, with a previous history of pulmonary hydatidosis, who presented a stroke without associated cardiovascular symptoms. An echocardiogram revealed a tumor mass with cystic features in the left ventricle. The patient was operated and the cyst was successfully excised. During the follow up, the patient remains asymptomatic.
