Cardiac Hydatid cyst is uncommon, but life threatening. Cardiac involvement occurs in only 0.5-2% of all hydatid infestations. In this report, we present a case of hydatid cyst located in the right atrium adjacent to tricuspid annulus, which was excised surgically (Pam Med J 2008;2(2):98-100).

Isolated hydatid cyst of kidney is very rare. Hydatid cyst of a duplex renal system is even more rare. We report a 13-year old girl with duplex system of right kidney with isolated hydatid cyst in upper moiety. Right nephrectomy was done to cure the condition.
