ABSTRACT
Paragonimiasis is an infectious disease caused by consumption of raw or improperly cooked freshwater crab or crayfish contaminated with Paragonimus metacercariae. The incidence of the disease has markedly decreased, but it is still a lung disease that requires a differential diagnosis in endemic areas such as Korea and Japan. It is commonly found in the lung but has also been found as extrapulmonary infestations, such as cerebral, spinal, subcutaneous, abdominal, urinary, and gynecological infestations. We report a rare case of ectopic paragonimiasis involving the breast with pleural effusion that was initially misdiagnosed as tuberculous pleurisy and a breast abscess.
