  • Title: A case of sparganosis mimicking a varicose vein.
    Author: Koo JH, Cho WH, Kim HT, Lee SM, Chung BS, Joo CY.
    Journal: Korean J Parasitol; 2006 Mar; 44(1):91-4. PubMed ID: 16514289.
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in radiological and serological techniques have enabled easier preoperative diagnosis of sparganosis. However, due to scarcity of cases, sparganosis has been often regarded as a disease of other etiologic origin unless the parasite is confirmed in the lesion. We experienced a case of sparganosis mimicking a varicose vein in terms of clinical manifestations and radiological findings. Sparganosis should be included among the list of differential diagnosis with the varicose vein.
