Paragonimiasis was first reported by Kervert in 1878, and named by Westermann. The chief habitat of the adult parasite is the lungs, however, other organs are invaded, such as liver, peritoneum, tests intestine, skin, muscle, and brain. We have observed a very rare case of paragonimiasis in the female genital organ involving the parametrium. The patient has complained low back pain for one year. This case was proved by the postoperative microscopic evidence with necrosis and multiple embeded eggs of P.W. We present a rare case of paragonimiasis with a brief review of the literatures.
