[Case report of florid trichinosis in otorhinolaryngology]

A 61-year-old male patient who contracted an acute trichinosis infection 39 years ago presented himself with swellings of the floor of the mouth, the tongue and the cheeks. Histological examination of two surgical specimens showed florid trichinosis. No malignant tumor was detectable. We had no indication of a new infection. Mebendazol (= Vermox), Thiabendazol (= Minzolum) and Prednison were used for management.
