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.
