Cardiac hydatid cyst case recovered with medical treatment.

Sir, the recent report on cardiac hydatid cyst is very interesting (1). Tekin et al. (1) noted for importance on concern of this disease and concluded that “In case of refusal of surgical treatment, medically inoperable patients and surgical high risks (because of the critical localization of the cyst), medical treatment is an available alternative treatment technique. ”The skipping of surgical removal of the cyst is very challenging. Indeed, the use of surgical removal accompanied with the medical treatment is widely used for the cardiac hydatid cyst (2). The long term following up to determine the recurrence and complication of medical treatment without surgical removal of the cyst is very interesting. Finally, seeking for possible cystic lesions at other sites in the body is required since multiple organ involvement is possible (3).
