Abstract:
Sparganosis is a parasitic disease which involves various parts of the body including subcutaneous tissues. The breast is a well-known site, though case reports are uncommon. We experienced a case of breast sparganosis which shows serpiginous mixed density lesions on mammography and nonspecific hypoechoic lesions partly connected with each other without surrounding inflammoatory change on ultrasonography.
