Taenia saginata is a zoonotic cestode causing taeniasis. Taeniasis refers to the intestinal infection with the adult stage of this tapeworm. An association between teaniasis and acute appendicitis is uncommon. We present the case of a 37 year old male who presented with abdominal pain for one day. He was diagnosed with having appendicitis and an appendectomy was performed. Pathology of the appendix showed Taenia saginata with eggs in the lumen. Histological analysis showed acute inflammation consistent with acute appendicitis caused by T. saginata.
牛带绦虫是一种引起绦虫病的人畜共患绦虫。绦虫病是指人体肠道被这种绦虫的成虫阶段感染。绦虫病与急性阑尾炎之间的关联并不常见。我们报告一例37岁男性患者,其腹痛一天前来就诊。他被诊断为阑尾炎并接受了阑尾切除术。阑尾病理显示腔内有带虫卵的牛带绦虫。组织学分析显示为与牛带绦虫引起的急性阑尾炎相符的急性炎症。
