    Abstract:
    We report a case of 63-year-old male, who presented with pathological fracture of left distal humerus 3 weeks previously. The radiographic findings showed an ill-defined permeative osteolytic lesion of the left distal humerus. Incisional biopsy and debridement was done; pathological examination revealed a folded cestode larva with calcareous corpuscles in the bone and soft tissue, and increased eosinophils. IgG antibody tests for sparganosis were positive. The patient refused to have surgery for internal fixation and placement of an endoprosthesis.
