This report describes the first laposcopic documentation of pelvic miliary schistosomiasis in a 29-year-old woman with primary infertility, highlighting its nodular appearance to aid differentiation from tuberculosis and malignancy.

Abstract

We report the laparoscopic finding of a pelvic schitosomiasis in a 29‐year‐old Saudi woman who had a diagnostic laparoscopy for primary infertility. We believe that this is the first report to show the natural nodular appearance of this disease, and may help in the differentiation from other pelvic lesions such as tuberculosis and malignancy. Histological examination of the biopsy of these nodules confirmed the diagnosis of schistosoma haematobium. Hence she referred to an assisted reproduction unit.
