Schistosomiasis is endemic in many parts of the tropics and subtropics with an estimated 200 million people, at least, infected worldwide. The symptoms and signs of vesical and gastrointestinal forms are readily recognized but ectopic forms are rare even in endemic areas and present a greater diagnostic challenge, particularly when they are encountered in nontropical climes. We now report two cases of cutaneous schistosomiasis presenting in Edinburgh with subtle, but remarkably similar, skin lesions.

“…This rash is self-healing within hours or days. Cercariae of nonhuman Schistosoma species exposed to human tissue always die at an early developmental stage (El-Mofty and Cahill 1964 ;El-Mofty and Nada 1975 ). More rarely, a similar rash occurs soon after exposure to cercariae of any of the major human-adapted schistosomes.…”

“…Cutaneous involvement by Schistosoma haematobium occurred especially in the genital and perigenital regions where they start as assymptomatic papules which slowly become vegetative lesions 9,10 . Cutaneous schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni, is rare, and is preferably located in the thorax and abdomen 11,12 .…”

We describe a schistosomal polyp in the anus of a 24-year-old patient, born in Viçosa, State of Minas Gerais, and living in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais. From 8 to 13 years of age, he swam in the rivers that bathe Viçosa. The histopathological examination has shown a lesion, lined by a keratinized squamous epithelium, ulcerated, with granulomas, centered or not by Schistosoma mansoni egg, laid, in loco, by the female present in the vascular lumen of a vein of the hemorrhoidal plexus. There was also a diffuse, nonspecific inflammation in the dermis. The patient was treated with praziquantel. Four months after the treatment, sigmoidoscopy showed a normal rectal mucosa, and negative oogram and stool tests. Ultrasound of abdomen was normal.
