ntestinal nematodlar, özellikle çocukluk çağı hastalıkları olarak karşı-mıza çıkar. Gelişmiş ülkeler de dâhil tüm dünyada yaygın olarak görü-lürler. Genellikle semptomatik olmadıkları için ameliyat sırasında tesadüfen veya otopsi serilerinde tanı alırlar. Ovaryan veya endometriyal enfeksiyon genellikle intraperitoneal yaygın hastalık sonrası görülür. Tüm kadın genital yolu boyunca tutulum olabilmektedir. A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Nematod enfeksiyonları; parazitik hastalıklar; over kistleri A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Parasitic infection of the female genital tract is extremely important in terms of the consequences. In case of no response to treatment of pelvik inflamatory disease and tubo-ovarian abcess, a parasitic infection's appropriate treatment should be kept in mind. A mass was spotted on the right pelvic side of a patient presented in this particular case. All tumor markers were in normal range except CA 19,9. The laparoscopic(L/S) approach was chosen as surgical technique and a right adnexectomy was performed. During L/S a wide adhesion site was observed between the anterior abdominal wall and the pfannenstiel incision region. Frozen section revealed a benign cystic lesion. Parasitic infection should be kept in mind in case of adnexial masses. Our patient was in postmenopausal state with no fertility desire. Furthermore this infection might be seen among the young population and might cause fertility problems.

“…4 The migration of the worm into the vagina of the host followed by intraperitoneal invasion via the uterus and the fallopian tube can cause salpingitis and paraoophoritis. 5,[7][8][9][10][11] Perianal abscess and granuloma caused by this parasite have also been described. 1 Because E. vermicularis com-monly inhabits the cecum and can be seen within the submucosa of appendectomy specimens, some investigators have postulated that it may have a causal relationship with appendicitis.…”

Abstract. We report a case of a chronic infiltrate of the intestinal wall of the transverse colon by the eggs of Enterobius vermicularis in a man who had immigrated to Taiwan from mainland China 50 years ago. During surgery for suspected transverse colon carcinoma, histologic examination of the tumor mass revealed eggs of E. vermicularis embedded in granulation tissue in the submucosa of the transverse colon. Results of a stool examination were negative for eggs but strongly positive for occult blood. The mass in the transverse colon was completely removed during surgery. At the present time, the patient remains asymptomatic.

“…Atypical locations of E. vermicularis have been reported [3]. The migration of the worm into the vagina of the host followed by intraperitoneal invasion via the uterus and the fallopian tube can cause salpingitis, paraoophoritis, tuboovarian abscess, and pelvic abscess [4,5]. Perianal abscess and granuloma caused by this parasite have also been described [1].…”

“…Cases of extraintestinal infection have also been published [3]. Salpingo-oophoritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic abscess, and chronic sialoadenitis caused by this parasite have been reported [4][5][6], and cases of perianal abscess and granuloma have been described [1]. Inflammatory pseudotumor, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and plasma cell granulomas are synonymous terms used to describe an inflammatory solid tumor [7].…”

For the first time, we report a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the sigmoid colon originating from an infection withEnterobius vermicularis. A 42-year-old man presented with left lower abdominal pain, weight loss, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination revealed tenderness and a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant. Laboratory results demonstrated elevated leukocyte count. Colonoscopy showed 25 cm above from the anus a nonobstructive, approximately 4 × 4 cm irregular lesion narrowing the sigmoid colon lumen with erythematous and rough mucosa; a diverticulosis could not be observed. Colonoscopic biopsy showed inflammatory changes. Computerized tomography (of the abdomen showed a 10 × 6 × 6 cm mass at the left lower abdomen. On abdominal exploration, the mass in the sigmoid colon was detected, and anterior resection of the sigmoid colon was performed. Histopathologic examination of the specimen revealed eggs of the E. vermicularis embedded in the granulation tissue and in the submucosa/mucosa of the sigmoid colon. The patient was uneventful in the postoperative period and discharged 7 days after surgery.
