    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms of the Schistosoma genus.
    • Gallbladder involvement in schistosomiasis is uncommon, with limited documented cases.

    Observation:

    • A case of cholecystitis in a 51-year-old man was linked to Schistosoma mansoni infection.
    • Schistosoma mansoni eggs were identified throughout the gallbladder wall, triggering an inflammatory response.

    Findings:

    • The gallbladder exhibited granulomatous inflammation at all stages, associated with the presence of Schistosoma mansoni eggs.
    • Adult Schistosoma mansoni worms were observed in a subserosal venule of the gallbladder.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This case expands the known spectrum of gallbladder pathology associated with schistosomiasis.
  • The rarity of gallbladder parasitism by Schistosoma mansoni warrants further investigation into potential host or parasite factors influencing tissue tropism.
