Sumario:Hydatid disease is a common health problem in sheep-farming countries such as Iran. The liver and lungs are the most common primary sites of hydatid cysts in humans. Cardiac involvement is an uncommon manifestation, and the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) is rarely involved. This is a case report of a 34-year-old man who presented to the Heart Clinic, Tehran, Iran, in 2019 with a history of dyspnoea and fatigue. Following an imaging study, the patient was diagnosed with an RVOT hydatid cyst. He underwent surgical resection of the cyst. The post-operative course was uneventful.
