A CASE OF PARAGONIMIASIS IN GREATER OMENTUM
An autopsy case of extrapulmonary paragonimiasis was reported. The patient was a forty-six year-old male who has been diagnosed as gastric ulcer. Receiving the laparotomy a number of yellowish-white elastic nodules were revealed in greater omentum, being identified as lymph nodes by histological examination, which revealed the presence of ova of the lung fluke, Paragonimus westermani (Kerbert, 1878), while no adult worms were found in the lymph nodes.
