Dracunculiasis: Two Cases with Rare Presentations
A 25 year old woman came with complaints of nodular lesion left side abdomen for 5 to 7 years []. It was associated with pain and discharge for 3-4 days.\nLesion was slowly progressive. She had not taken any treatment for this.\nDermatological examination showed large nodular lesion of size 5 cm in diameter left side abdomen, not adherent to the deeper structures. We decided to rule out Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a biopsy was done. It showed calcified lesion with no evidence of malignancy.\nLesion was excised and the whole specimen was again sent for histopathology which showed calcified worm.
