Cardiac hydatid cyst (CHC) is a rare disease that was endemic in some regions especially in sheep-raising areas.

Here, we describe a case with the primitive cardiac hydatid cyst located around the pulmonary valve (PV) and main pulmonary artery (mPA) extended to right and left pulmonary arteries and metastasized to both lungs.
