“…It is well recognised that schistosomiasis predisposes to cancer, possibly by the production of carcinogens through interference with the metabolism of tryptophan (Abdel-Tawab et al, 1968); Chaves (1966) suggested that, in his case of squamous cell carcinoma of cervix with rhabdomyosarcoma of uterine body, the specific reactions may have had "a growth stimulating effect in a sensitized area". Charlewood et al (1949), in South Africa, reported 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma and another of metaplasia to a squamous type in association with bilhanial infestation, and Mfi (1948), in Egypt, found 4 cases of bilharziasis in 64 cases of carcinoma of the body of the uterus.…”

Two patients with gynaecological schistosomiasis have been recorded in Western Australia; both were immigrants from Tanzania (then Tanganyika). One patient exhibited ova and adult worms of S. mansoni in a leiomyoma of the body of the uterus. This is believed to be the iirst recorded finding of an adult Schistosoma mansoni worm in a leiomyoma, and suggests that the presence of ova results, at least partly, from direct invasion of the veins of the uterus and oviposition by the adult worm, and not entirely by embolisation of eggs.The other patient showed S. haematobium associated with a tubal gestation. A life span of at least 20 years is evident in the case of the S. mansoni infestation.
