ABSTRACT
Sparganosis is a parasite infection caused by a sparganum, which is a plerocercoid larva of cestodes in the genus Spirometra. Recently, we experienced an unusual case of sparganosis of the descending colon in a 68.year.old female who presented with acute abdominal pain and severe hematochezia. At colonoscopy, a large hematoma was seen in the descending colon. The biopsy specimen showed the degenerating sparganum of a parasitic worm. We report this with a brief review of literature.
