    Area of Science:

    • Medical Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Schistosoma mansoni is endemic in Nigeria and other West African regions.
    • Schistosome eggs typically lodge in the intestinal submucosa or disseminate to various organs via the bloodstream.

    Observation:

    • A literature review revealed no prior documented cases of schistosomiasis affecting the ear.
    • This report details an exceptionally rare presentation of schistosomiasis.

    Findings:

    • The study identifies and documents a unique case of Schistosoma mansoni infection involving the ear.
    • This finding expands the known clinical spectrum of schistosomiasis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering unusual presentations in parasitic infections.
  • Suggests the need for broader diagnostic considerations in endemic areas.
  • Contributes to the understanding of ectopic Schistosoma mansoni infections.
