Abstract
- The human sparganum mansoni infestation was reported 63 cases in Korea until 1974, but urogenital infestation of sparganum is relatively rare. We experienced a case of sparganosis in which one parasite migrated from the Left flank to the left scrotum and the other remained in the left flank. The white ribbon worm-like structure was crawling in the subcutaneous tissue of the left scrotum. This 51 year lod male patient had an episode of intake of raw snake as a tonic 2 year ago in Kyungki-do, Korea.
