ABSTRACT
The authors describe a case of peritoneal enterobiasis presenting as necrotizing granuloma, in a adolescent with tumor of the ovarian endodermic sinus. The diagnosis was established through biopsy of peritoneal nodule, during laparotomy for staging system of ovarian cancer. Granulomatous nodules due to parasites could simulate metastasis, and cause confusion in the staging system for cancer.

Os autores descrevem caso de enterobíase peritoneal apresentando-se como granuloma necrosante, em adolescente com tumor do seio endodérmico do ovário. O diagnóstico foi estabelecido por biópsia de nódulo do epíploon, durante laparotomia para reestadiamento de câncer de ovário após tratamento clínico. Nódulos granulomatosos peritoneais causados por parasitas podem simular metástases, confundindo o estadiamento de neoplasias
