ABSTRACT
We report herein a human sparganosis that presented confusing features in aspect of its correct identification, The patient was 35-year-old man who had a past history of eating fried frogs since 3 years prior to his first admission in 198I. Three mature Sparganum mansoni and 69 encapsulated spargana pieces were excised from his left inguinal area, left thigh and scrotum by three consecutive operations in 19 months. The encapsulated spargana were irregular in shape and size and mummified. They were identified histopathologically as degenerated spargana by no sexual organs and many calcareous bodies in the parenchyma. Differentiation of our case from proliferating sparganosis caused by Spargarrum proliferum was discussed.
