The ectopic infection except lung of Paragonimus species are frequent occurrence, but the liver rare involved as a site of ectopic Paragonimiasis. There are not reported till now for liver invasion of Paragonimus iloktsuenensis. This is a report that we have observed a case of the ectopic liver infection of P. iloktsuenensis in an experimental infected albino rat. As a rat among 1,017 rats that were experimented infection with P. iloktsuenensis during 13 years(1989~2001) in the department of Parasitology in Soonchunhyang Medical College, the rat was experimentally infected with 70 excysted metacercariae of P. iloktsuenensis through oral route, was autosied on sixth week after infection, At autopsy of the rat, 7 cysts contained two worms in each cyst was detected in lung and a cyst were detected in live as ectopic site. The cyst lesion in the liver was located inside the right lobe of the liver that was a slightly protrudent domeshaped lesion about 10mm in maximum dimensions. In excision of the cyst, two viable worms of P. iloktsuenensis was reside in well developed cyst wall that was surrounded with numerous leukocytes and thick fibrous tissues. These two worms were adult worms that were measured with size of 7×4.3mm and 9×4.1mm respectively and were well developed ovary, testis, vitellaria and uterus on Semicon’s Acetocarmine staining. Two adult worms of P. iloktsuenensis in ectopic liver syst of alvino rat was developed as same as development in lung. We supposed that the route of ectopic liver infection was assumed to be a direct invasion during larval migraton from intestine to lung of albino rat.
