Visceral pentastomiasis is usually found incidentally during surgery. We describe a case of visceral pentastomiasis discovered during inguinoscrotal hernia surgery for a man from Benin, Africa. Because surgical removal of nymphs is needed for symptomatic patients only, this patient's asymptomatic pentastomiasis was not treated and he recovered from surgery uneventfully.
内脏五口虫病通常在手术中偶然发现。我们描述了一例来自非洲贝宁的男性在腹股沟疝手术中发现的内脏五口虫病。由于只有有症状的患者才需要手术切除幼虫，因此该患者无症状的五口虫病未予治疗，手术恢复顺利。
