| description | Cutaneous schistosomiasis is extremely rare condition even in endemic regions. This is a case report of a 9-yearold
girl infected by schistosoma and presented late with vulval warty partly ulcerated nodule, the diagnosis was made
using a routine skin biopsy which identified Schistosoma haematobium eggs deposited in the skin tissue and
surrounded by inflammatory infiltrate with mild dysplastic change of epidermis. Dermatologists should be aware of
schistosomiasis when evaluating patients with unusual skin lesions. |
