Abstract
- Sparganosis usually means the plerocercoid larval infection of Spirometra species. It is endemic mainly in countries where the habit of eating raw snake or frog, or the habit of poulticing with snake skin exists. The most common endemic area is Korea, Japan and China, and the most common localizations are subcutaneous connective tissue and superficial muscles. We experienced a case of scrotal sparganosis in a 32-year-old man presenting with painless hard masses in left scrotum. He underwent by serum Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and was treated by surgical excision.
