“…3 In dogs, ectopic paragonimosis is rare. 1,2,5,7,14 In reported cases, extrapulmonary lesions were mostly produced by migration of immature trematodes or by eggs; 5,14 exceptional cases had P. westermani cysts and eggs in trachobronchial lymph nodes 7 or spleen. 2,5 In contrast, the present case developed an inguinal subcutaneous mass that contained encysted solitary or pairs of adult trematodes.…”

Abstract. Ectopic infection with Paragonimus miyazakii was determined to be the cause of a subcutaneous inguinal mass in a 15-month-old, male, boar-hunting dog. On histologic examination, the mass comprised granulomatous panniculitis, intralesional adult trematodes and eggs, and lymphadenitis. Extrapulmonary paragonimosis in animals is rare. This appears to be the first report in a dog of ectopic P. miyazakii infection with mature trematodes and eggs that involved the inguinofemoral lymphocenter and surrounding subcutis.
