Abstract
|
|
|
Sparganum is a parasite infesting principally in the cats or dogs, but human infestation was also not uncommonly reported. In Korea, the reported cases of sparganosis are over 70. We experienced a case of sparganosis in scrotum.
This patient, 47 year-old man, had had episodes of intake raw snakes for 6 years as a tonic since 12 years before. The removed larvae of the parasite revealed milkish-white color, flat, and glistening appearance. Life cycle and route of infection of sparganum mansoni are discussed with review of the literatures.
