Abstract
- Sparganosis is caused by tapeworm larva of the genus Spirometra, which commonly invades the subcutaneous tissue, and less frequently invades the abdominal wall, intestine, muscle, thorax, breast, eye, brain, spinal cord etc. We experienced a rare case of living sparganosis, which was found in the flexor muscle of the distal forearm. Ultrasonography was helpful in the diagnosis of sparganosis
