Heterotopic paragonimiasis in the omentum

Paragonimus westermani is a lung fluke but may be found in organs other than the lungs. A case of omental paragonimiasis was found incidentally by plain radiography and computed tomography and showed multiple, irregularly shaped, conglomerated calcifications in the intraperitoneum. Many P. westermani ova were detected in the resected omentum. This uncommon calcification on the plain abdominal radiography and computed tomography scan was considered to represent radiologic findings of ectopic paragonimiasis.
