Figure 2From: Heart echinococcus cyst as an incidental finding: early detection might be life-saving MDCT: Axial (Panel A) and coronal view (Panel B) of the heart reconstructed with thick slab MIP algorithm. A large unilocular cystic mass (black arrows) measuring 5 × 2 cm with partially calcified wall (white arrows), was found in the diaphragmatic surface (inferior aspect) of the heart. The mass was adjacent to the left ventricle compressing the inferior/posterior wall. Its outer contour was contiguous to the pericardium. Tiny calcified nodules are also noted in both lungs (white arrow heads).Back to article page
