Mini‐Abstract Primary cardiac hydatid cyst seen in the right ventricle is an infrequent appearance of disease. An immediate and precise identification of cystic lesion is critical, especially if a surgery is planned. In this context, the multimodality imaging can give precious knowledge on both the lesion and its relation to other cardiac and extracardiac structures and thereby can guide the surgery.
