    A rare case of pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis) found in ovarian tissue is presented. The study suggests the worm migrated from the perianal area through the reproductive tract into a ruptured ovarian follicle.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Parasitology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Enterobius vermicularis, commonly known as pinworm, is a human intestinal parasite.
    • Ovarian involvement by E. vermicularis is exceptionally rare, with few documented cases.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented of an Enterobius vermicularis found within the ovarian parenchyma.
    • The specimen was identified in a patient presenting with relevant gynecological symptoms.

    Findings:

    • The study proposes a migration pathway for the gravid female pinworm.
    • The proposed route involves movement from perianal skin to the vagina, ascending through the female genital passages, and entering the ovary via a ruptured graafian follicle.

    Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of ectopic parasitic migration in humans.
  • Highlights the importance of considering parasitic causes in unusual gynecological presentations.
  • Informs differential diagnosis for ovarian pathologies potentially caused by parasitic infestation.
