Abstract:
Intestinal schistosomiasis is caused by infestation with schistosome, which is easy to be confused with inflammatory bowel disease, especially Crohn′s disease or malignant tumor. Such a case that was misdiagnosed as Crohn′s disease in Zhongnan hospital is described. Schistosome eggs, granuloma and eosinophil infiltration observed in resected specimens can help reaching the correct diagnosis.
