Abstract: Pericardial hydatic cyst is rare even in endemic countries. We report a case of 69-year-old man with isolated
pericardial hydatid cyst that presented an overall heart failure. Tran thoracic echocardiography and
computed tomography are revealed the pericardial cystic mass. Surgical cystectomy was realized without
cardiopulmonary bypass. In post-operative the patient received albendazole. He remained asymptomatic
without recurrence during 18 months follow-up period.Keywords: Pericardial, hydatid cyst, echinococcosis, cystectomy
