Mons pubis Sparganosis infection: A case report

Sparganosis is a key food-borne zoonosis and is typically endemic to the southeast coast of China. The present study reports a very rare case of sparganosis occurring in the mons pubis. The case described herein highlights the importance of considering subcutaneous sparganosis as a differential diagnosis in patients with subcutaneous masses. The disease manifests predominantly as subcutaneous nodules or intracranial mass lesions. Infection is primarily acquired by ingesting raw or undercooked amphibian or reptile flesh or by the consumption of water containing copepods. An accurate diagnosis and early treatment are crucial for the management of this infection.
