A case of pleuropulmonary paragonimiasis that mimicked reactivation of pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, and neoplasm occurred in a Laotian immigrant to Australia. The key to the diagnosis of this condition is awareness of the disease in persons from this region. The diagnosis was supported by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing. The patient was successfully treated with praziquantel.
