Ectopic localization of oxyuriasis is rare and frequently does not cause clinical problems. It has been reported in the vagina, endometrium, fallopian tube, peritoneal surface and ovary; In these localizations it often causes pseudo-tumoral granulomas. The aim of our study was to describe etiopathogenic and clinical criteria of this rare pathology. We report one case of endometrial enterobiasis which developed in a 28-year-old women and two cases of tubo-ovarian pseudotumoral abscesses containing the ova of enterobius which appeared as a latero-uterin mass in women aged 28 and 38 years. Enterobius vermicularis may cause tubo-ovarian abscess formation with necrotizing epitheloid granulomas mimicking tumors. Antihelminth therapies are successful.

Parasitic Infections and Host Tissue Response in Histopathology: A Rare Retrospective Research Study from Rural India.
Turkiye Parazitol Derg
October 2024
Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Department of Pathology, Etawah, India.
Article Synopsis
- Parasites are organisms that live off other hosts, like humans, causing inflammatory responses that can lead to tissue damage observable under a microscope, such as eosinophilia and granulomas.
- This retrospective study analyzed 26 cases of parasitic infections from 2008 to 2019, examining patient age (predominantly 11-20 years) and detailing specific types of parasites, with hydatid cysts being the most common.
- The study emphasizes the importance of histopathology in diagnosing parasitic infections and understanding the tissue response, as clinical and radiological methods alone may not provide definitive diagnoses.

Department of Biology, Al-Quds University, P.O. Box 51000, Jerusalem, Palestine.
Article Synopsis
- Pinworms are tiny parasites that can cause tummy problems, especially in kids, and sometimes lead to serious issues like appendicitis.
- Two kids from Palestine, ages 9 and 11, had pain in their stomach and were diagnosed with appendicitis, but tests showed they also had pinworm eggs.
- After surgery to remove their appendix, they got medicine to treat the pinworms and recovered well in the following weeks.
Prevalence of Helminth Infections in Patients with Celiac Disease.
Dig Dis
December 2024
Leumit Health Services, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the link between helminth infections and celiac disease (CeD) by comparing demographic and clinical data between individuals with CeD and a control group.
- - The research used electronic health records from Leumit Health Care Services, finding no significant differences in age, gender, socioeconomic status, or ethnicity between the groups, although intestinal helminthiases were more common in CeD cases, particularly pinworm infections.
- - The results challenge existing beliefs about the hygiene hypothesis by suggesting a possible unexpected connection between CeD and helminth infections, prompting further investigation into this relationship.

The role of infestation in the context of appendicitis is largely overlooked, but is considered an unexpected and significant appendicectomy finding. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of findings in appendectomies and to evaluate the clinical and histopathologic features of patients with -associated acute appendicitis and those with appendiceal infestation. The medical records of all children who underwent an appendectomy in two large pediatric centers in Croatia between 1 January 2009 and 1 January 2024 were retrospectively reviewed.
