Ovarian Manson's Schistosomiasis: Rare Diagnosis or Underestimated Prevalence?

Abstract: The occurrence of Manson's schistosomiasis in organs of the female reproductive tract is an uncommon event, given that the etiological agent for this disease is a blood parasite that inhabits the mesenteric veins. In this case report, a 45-year-old female patient reported that her first symptoms had been strong pain in the left iliac region around two years earlier.

These signs are expected in cases of chronic genital schistosomiasis infection and were detected in our patient.…”
