Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection endemic to parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. Its incidence in North America has increased, allowing for study of classic presentations. Colonic schistosomiasis typically results in a granulomatous reaction with systemic symptoms. This case describes the unusual course of a 54 year old male patient with nonspecific abdominal pain incidentally found to have colonic schistosomiasis after routine polypectomy.
