Abstract

A 20-year-old patient with myoepicardial echinococcosis was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. After polycystectomy had been performed, the surgical area was mistakenly washed with formaldehyde solution, and severe myocardial dysfunction ensued. Histological alterations were compatible with toxic cellular damage.
