description Echinococcosis is an endemic zoonotic parasitic infection found in Morocco, due to Echinococcus granulosus. Cardiac localization is a rare form, presenting in various ways. The right heart is an uncommon site of cardiac involvement. We report a case of a right-sided cardiac hydatid cyst complicated with multiple pulmonary embolism, revealed by dyspnea at rest, in a 15-year-old male. The patient successfully underwent surgical removal which confirmed the diagnosis. This case report demonstrates one of the various clinical presentations of this condition, and the importance of early treatment in order to prevent its potentially fatal complications, particularly in the young.
