In most cases, pulmonary involvement is associated with an apparent clinical involvement of other organs. This report describes a 35 yr old patient who developed a cavity, a parenchymatous infiltrate and hilar adenopathy in association with pulmonary schistosomiasis. Schistosoma eggs were demonstrated in transbronchial biopsies from the lung. Pulmonary involvement of schistosomiasis is reviewed and atypical features are discussed, which may lead to diagnostic difficulties, particularly compared to tuberculosis.
