Hydatid disease, if not properly managed, can lead to mortality. Open surgery is preferred and can be a curative approach for multiple and large liver hydatid cysts. Also, regular follow-up is required to detect recurrence.

Introduction: Echinococcosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by tapeworm larvae, forming cysts in organs like the liver and lungs. It primarily affects livestock and humans, with significant public health and economic implications worldwide. In the Hazara Division, the prevalence and genetic diversity of the is largely unexplored.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis has a low incidence even in endemic countries. It is a chronic and complex zoonosis that in many cases presents delay in diagnosis; it typically affects the liver in up to 90% of the cases, being disseminated pulmonary disease the most common in young subjects, while the rate of cases located only in the pulmonary parenchyma is low. In Mexico it is considered a disease of low endemicity.

Although the majority of hydatid cysts are found in the liver and lungs, cardiac hydatid cysts, particularly those in the left ventricle and interventricular septum, pose unique challenges because of their extremely rare manifestation of cystic echinococcosis, critical location, and potential for serious complications. Although uncommon, a hydatic cyst of the heart should be investigated in a patient with an intracardiac mass-particularly if it is cystic-and in a patient with symptoms of heart failure caused by a mass shown in imaging examinations. We present a case of left ventricular hydatid cyst in a 34-year-old woman who had been complaining of worsening dyspnea, shortness of breath, orthopnea, and cough for 3 weeks.

Purpose: To report a rare case of orbital hydatid cyst involving the medial rectus muscle, which presented as progressive proptosis, with subsequent detection of liver involvement after further investigations.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 12-year-old boy from a rural area with exposure to wildlife dogs. The patient had a two-month history of gradually progressive proptosis in the right eye, accompanied by periorbital swelling and limited medial ocular motility.
