| Core Tip |
Paragonimiasis is a parasitic infection caused by lung flukes of genus Paragonimus. Paragonimiasis is an important food-borne worldwide disease. It has been estimated that 22.8 million people worldwide are at risk of Paragonimiasis. Here we present a rare case of simultaneous breast and pulmonary paragonimiasis in a woman presenting with a painless breast mass and a lung nodule, who has a history of eating raw trout. To confirm the diagnosis, serologic testing and tissue confirmation of the breast mass were performed. The patient was treated with surgical resection of the mass and praziquantel medication. Because of the rarity of ectopic paragonimiasis, history-taking and clinical suspicion of parasitic infection are important. |
