Abstract

Although schistosomiasis is the second most frequent tropical disease worldwide it is infrequently diagnosed in the industrialized world. Depending on the species involved, schistosomiasis usually presents with urological or intestinal symptoms. Here we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of schistosomiasis presenting with an oral cyst in a migrant.
