Abstract

A summary of the 12 cases of human parasitism by Laçochilascaris minor Leiper, 1909 which had been previously published is preesnted. The parasite was found in the neck, masthoid, maxillary sinuses and retropharynx. A detailed review of the genus and the diagnostic key proposed by Sprent in 1971 are also presented for the 4 hitherto know species: L. major, L. turgida, L. buckleyi and L. minoro Subsequently a new case of human parasitism by L. minor is presented. A with 19-year old rural worker from Cuiabá state of Mato Grosso, was operated because of a clinical picture of temporo-zygomatic pan-masthoiditís on the right side and peripheric facial paralysis also on the right side. During surgery, a chronic masthoiditis with proliferating tissues, purulent exudate was found as weU as filiform, whitish, cylindrical worms located in muscle tissue. The worm specimens were later identified as Lagochilascaris minor Leiper, 1909 with subsequent confirmation by Sprent. Photographs of adult worms and of the excised tissue with numerous worms embedded as well...
