ABSTRACT
A case of rare subcutaneous sparganosis in thigh treated by surgical excision is reported. In this 49year-old male with a palpable mass on the anteromedial aspect of mid-thigh (5x7x5cm sized) which was misdiagnosed with a soft tissue tumor initially, a sparganosis was suspected by a plain x-rays, bone scan and his past history which he frequently had raw snakes, frogs and raw fishes before but confirmed by MRI and surgical excision. This represents tor warning to some Koreans who have frequently comsumed raw fishes, snakes or frogs etc., and to some doctors because it is easily confused with a soft tissue tumor.
