Abstract

A case of endometrial trichinosis is reported; the patient lived rear Cd. Delicias, Chih., an endemic area for trichinosis. A 38 years old obese, diabetic woman, with high blood pressure, used to eat frequently pork meat and its products; she presented with abnormal genital bleeding, abdominal pain, and pelvic congestion. Histerectomy was performed. Pathological study of the uterus showed Trichinella spiralis larvae with microcalcifications, and lymphocytic infiltration in basal endometrium.
