摘要
Pulmonary sparganosis mansoni is rare in humans and bronchial sparganosis mansoni has not been reported. We reported a patient with a soft-tissue mass in the right hilum area on a chest computed tomography （CT） scan that was suspected of being lung cancer. Bronchoscopy identified sparganum larvae. Bronchial sparganosis mansoni accompanied by abnormal hyperplasia was diagnosed by histopathology. We introduced our experience and reviewed the clinical characteristics of three pulmonary sparganosis mansoni cases and three pleural cavity sparganosis mansoni cases that have been reported.
