Two cases of ectopic Paragonimiasis together with a brief review of literature are
Presented.
The one, 41-year-old Korean male patient was admitted to Christian Hospital
Kwangju, because of periumbilical pain and palpable mass for 2 days.
The cut surface of surgical excision mass reveals variable sized cystic spaces with
focal necrosis. The histological findings reveal chronic granulematous inflammation with
prominent fibrosis and many thick-shelled eggs of Paragonimus westermani.
The skin test for P.W. was positive. The other case, 23-year-old Korean female was
visiter to local clinic, due to freely movable mass on the prepatellar area. Surgical
excision mass reveals two fragments of grayish white calcified soft tissue.
Histologically, many calcified eggs of P.W. are observed.
