ABSTRACT
Human sparganosis is a rare parasitic disease infected by plerocercoid larva (sparganum) of Spirometra species. It was usually diagnosed accidentally. In this article, we report a 44-year-old woman reanl allofraft recipient on cyclosporine and prednisolone as the immunosuppressive agents. She presented an enlarging subcutaneous nodule in the left thigh for 20 days, which was excised in the belief that it was a seroma. Characteristic sparganum lava accompanied by granulomatous inflammation and cyst formation in the subcutaneous tissue were discovered under microscopic examination of the excised tissue. However, the infectious source was not clear.
