ABSTRACT
Sparganosis is the condition of an infection caused by spargana of several species of tapeworm related to Diphyllobothrium latum. We encountered a 27 years old man who was suffered from adult thumb-sized masses in the right scrotum. From the fibrous capsules in the masses, 4 plerocercoid larvae, spargana, measuring about 15-20 cm in length were extirpated. Herein we reported this case with a brief review of the literatures.
