Abstract

The major cause of Sparganosis is ingestion of raw snake or frog. The most common clinical manifestation of Sparganosis is subcutaneous moving nodule in abdominal wall, chest wall, thigh, and scrotal area. The most accurate method of diagnosis and treatment for Sparganosis is surgical removal of the parasite. We experienced pleural sparganosis in a 70-years-old male patient, and report it with review of literatures.

스파르가눔증의 주요 발생 원인은 뱀이나 개구리의 생식이다. 스파르가눔증의 흔한 임상 증상은 복벽, 흉벽, 대퇴부, 음낭 등에 나타나는 이동성 피하 결절이며, 가장 확실한 진단 및 치료는 외과적으로 충체를 적출하는 것이다. 저자들은 70세 남자 환자의 흉막에 발생한 스파르가눔증을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
