Abstract
We report a case of tubular bilharziosis discovered on a surgical specimen after salpingectomy. Tubular bilharziosis is not exceptional in endemic zones but is rarely found in Europe. The species most often isolated is Schistosoma haematobium. Contamination occurs via vascular anastomoses between the bladder and the genital organs. Bilharziosis has been shown to be a cause of extra-uterine pregnancy although its effect on fertility is yet to be established.Entities:
