The majority of patients with cardiac hydatid cysts complain from cardiac problems as their first presentation. However, this article reports an unusual case suffers from an interventricular hydatid cyst presented by abdominal pain on 2013. After the patient transferred to Tehran Heart Center, surgical cyst excision with removing germinal layer and concurrent albendazole therapy was prescribed for the management of this Iranian 15 year old female.
