OBJECTIVE: To report the case of a Nigerian patient who suffered from sterility and underwent abdominal laparotomy to remove an adnexal tumor. Histologic analysis revealed Schistosoma haematobium ova. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Multidisciplinary group practice and teaching hospital. PATIENTS: One patient who underwent an abdominal laparotomy to remove an adnexal tumor. INTERVENTION(S): In vitro fertilization and adnexal tumor resection via laparotomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Treatment of the adnexal tumor affecting the reproductive health. RESULT(S): Histologic analysis performed on the tissue removed at surgery revealed fibrous patches around aggregates of calcified Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the fallopian tube wall. CONCLUSION(S): Schistosomiasis needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis of female infertility and sterility. Copyright 2010 American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
