ABSTRACT
Sparganosis is an infection by sparganum, the generic term for the migrating plerocercoid larva of a tapeworm of the species Spirometra. The clinical appearance of sparganosis is usually a soft palpable, sometimes migratory, subcutaneous nodule, and microscopically, an elongated tract-like cavity, with or without a parasite body associated with eosinophilic infiltration, may be seen. Herein we present a case of sparganosis with eosinophilic panniculitis, which developed in a patient who had suffered from rectal adenocarcinoma about 5- months before presenting to our department with the skin lesion.
