A rare combination of hepatic and pericardial hydatid cyst and review of literature.

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.
