ABSTRACT
Sparganosis is a zoonosis caused by sparganum. Humans can be exposed to sparganum by ingesting undercooked snakes or drinking infected copepods harboring sparganum. Sparganosis commonly manifests as migrating subcutaneous masses and may involve multiple organ systems such as the musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, the eyes, and the genitourinary system. We report here a case of laparoscopically confirmed sparganosis caused by ingestion of undercooked snakes. The sparganosis involved the liver and peritoneum and was initially difficult to differentiate from peritoneal carcinomatosis.
