Article Synopsis
- Cats usually serve as the main host for the development of the second larval stage (plerocercoid) of Spirometra spp. in their intestines.
- A recent case documented a sparganum found in the abdominal cavity of a domestic cat during surgery, identified as Spirometra mansoni.
- This report is significant as it is the first documented case of S. mansoni sparganum in a cat and highlights the need for further study on Spirometra species affecting humans and other animals.

The patient was found to develop a migrating mass in the lower abdomen without any known cause in 2000, and the cause had not been identified following multiple diagnoses since then. The mass was found to migrate to the left anterior axillary regions on August 11, 2020. Then, three segments of incomplete white worms were resected through minimally invasive surgery, and metagenomic sequencing revealed sparganosis mansoni.

Human sparganosis is a food-borne zoonosis mainly caused by the plerocercoid belonging to the genus Spirometra. The most common clinical sign of sparganosis is a subcutaneous mass in the trunk including abdominal or chest wall. The mass may be mistaken for a malignant tumor, thereby causing difficulty in terms of diagnosis and treatment.
