Cardiac hydatid cyst is rare, and the most common involvements are left ventricular wall and septum ( ı ). Surgical exeision is the treatment of choice for cardiac hydatid cyst because of its possible fatal complications (2). Although the diagnostic value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is well established, there are very few reports of the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as an aid to diagnosis and/or treatment (3-5). In this report, we present 2 unusual cases of cardiac hydatid cyst and discuss the role of TEE in the diagnosis and treatment.
