A Case of Sparganosis Developedin Penile Shaft

Abstract

We experienced a case of sparganosis developed in the dorsum of penile shaft where, we think, is the very rare site of sparganosis reported in Korea. The patient, a 23 year-old Korean soldier, had slight tender thread-like linear subcutaneous mass on the dorsal aspect of penile shaft for 1 month prior to coming to us. The skin lesion was not palpated when the penis was erect. He had experience of intaking raw-snakes intermittently(5 times) since 2 years ago.
