Dieser Fallbericht schildert den in unseren Breitengraden ungewöhnlichen Zufallsbefund einer genitalen Schistosomiasis bei einer 30-jährigen Frau aus Afrika. Die Patientin begab sich aufgrund einer länger bestehenden Hypermenorrhö in fachärztliche Behandlung und wurde nach klinischer Untersuchung wegen eines Uterus myomatosus operiert.

Histomorphologisch fand sich neben leiomyomatösem Gewebe eine ausgedehnte Schistosomiasis haematobium.

Nach pathologischer Diagnosestellung erfolgte die Standardtherapie mit einer einmaligen Gabe von Praziquantel.

Es wird über die Klinik, Epidemiologie, Morphologie und Diagnostik berichtet.

Abstract

This case report deals with an, in our regions, unusual diagnosis of coincidence of a genital schistosomiasis of a 30-year-old woman, coming from Africa.

The female patient presented herself by a specialist because of longer lasting hypermenorrhoe. After clinical examination the patient underwent an operation because of an uterus myomatosus.

The histopathological evaluation showed beside a leimyoma an expanded infestation with schistosomiasis haematobium.

After pathological diagnosis the patient underwent the standard therapy with a single injection of praziquantel.

We report about the clinic, epidemiology, morphology and diagnostic.
