Abstract

Schistosomiasis is prevalent in some developing countries; however, it does not commonly affect the breast. Mammary schistosomiasis may present as suspicious microcalcification or a mass on mammography. Image-guided biopsy is necessary to exclude malignancy and identify calcified Schistosoma ova on histology. We report a case of a patient born in the Philippines who was diagnosed with mammary schistosomiasis from incidental microcalcifications seen on mammography.
