    Schistosomiasis can cause intestinal obstruction mimicking colon cancer. This review covers the cause, patient demographics, pathology, and management of Schistosoma mansoni infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Intestinal obstruction is a rare but serious complication of schistosomiasis.

    Observation:

    • A case of intestinal obstruction due to schistosomiasis is presented.
    • The clinical presentation closely mimicked colon carcinoma.

    Findings:

    • Schistosoma mansoni infection was identified as the cause.
    • The study reviews the demography, pathological characteristics, and clinical management strategies for this condition.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of bowel obstruction.
