Involvement of left ventricle is more common followed by right ventricle, interventricular septum, left atrium, right atrium and interatrial septum. Here, we present a case report of 26-year-old male patient who was suspected to have left ventricle cystic lesion on 2D-Echocardiography which was confirmed to be Hydatid cyst situated in inter-ventricular septum on Magnetic resonance imaging which is itself a rare phenomenon.
