Cardiac hydatid cyst is extremely rare in children. We report a case of a cardiac echinococcal cyst in an 11 year old boy, diagnosed by two‐dimensional echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The cyst was located in the posterior wall of the left ventricle and was excised surgically. Echocardiographic and MRI findings are discussed.
