Abstract
Dear Editor, Sir, the recent report on cardiac hydatid cyst is very interesting (1). Tekin et al. (1) noted for importance on concern of this disease and concluded that “In case of refusal of surgical treatment, medically inoperable patients and surgical high risks (because of the critical localization of the cyst), medical treatment is an available alternative treatment technique. ”The skipping of surgical removal of the cyst is very challenging. Indeed, the use of surgical removal accompanied with the medical treatment is widely used for the cardiac hydatid cyst (2).
