Choi, Lee, Hyun, Kim, Lee, and Cho: A Case of Sparganosis with Eosinophilic Panniculitis

Abstract

Sparganosis is an infection caused by the migrating larvae of the cestode genus Spirometra. The most common clinical presentation of a sparganosis is a slow-growing, sometimes migratory, sub-cutaneous mass. In this report, a case of eosinophilic panniculitis by sparganum in a Korean woman is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed from the histopathologic findings, the micro-ELISA tests and a living sparganum derived from the patient while excising the new lesion
