Abstract
- Paragonimus westermani is a lung fluke of humans that is usually found in the lungs but may be found elsewhere in many unusual locations. A case of pelvic paragonimiasis was found incidentally by surgical intervention of inflammatory disease and myoma uteri. She was a 51-year-old Korean woman complaining of lower abdominal pain and intermittent vaginal spotting. Numerous Paragonimus ova were observed in the resected omentum in the pelvis after total abdominal hysterectomy. It is suggested that pelvic paragonimiasis may be one of causative agents of pelvic inflammatory disease.
