Description
Summary:Highlights • This case presentation, emphasizes the typical manifestations of hepatic but associated asymptomatic pericardial HCs. • Hepatic hydatid cyst presenting as a painless abdominal lump preceded painful presentation for a few months. • Asymptomatic pericardial hydatid cyst could have presented with pericardial tamponade due to rupture, if ignored further. • The origin of the pericardial hydatid cyst could have been due to trans diaphragmatic passage of scolices from the hepatic location, as the usual pulmonary involvement was absent.
