“…Youssef et al, in a series of cervical schistosomiasis cases from Egypt, demonstrated 15 cases of invasive squamous cell carcinomas and one case of carcinoma in situ in which S. haematobium ova were identified within the tumor [77]. Finally, Al-Adnani and Saleh have also reported the association of S. haematobium with cervical cancer in one out of seven cases of cervical schistosomiasis [78]. Additionally, Coelho et al described 16 cases of invasive and microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma and 51 cases of severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ associated with S. mansoni infection [79].…”

Background: A relatively underestimated facet of infectious diseases is the association of chronic bacterial and parasitic infections with cancer development. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the evidence regarding the association of such infections with the development of malignancy, excluding the overwhelming evidence of the association of Helicobacter pylori and cancer. Methodology: We searched Pubmed, Cochrane, and Scopus without time limits for relevant articles. Results: There is evidence that some bacterial and parasitic infections are associated with cancer development. The level of evidence of this association varies from high to low; in any case, a long time interval is mandatory for the development of cancer. A high level of evidence exists for the association of Salmonella Typhi with gallbladder and hepatobiliary carcinoma; Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis with cholangiocarcinoma; Schistosoma hematobium with bladder cancer; chronic osteomyelitis with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; and hidradenitis suppurativa with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. In contrast, the level of evidence regarding the association of Chlamydia spp. with cancer is low. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is associated with lung cancer, albeit probably not etiopathogenetically. Conclusions: A considerable number of bacterial infections and parasitic infections are associated with the development of cancer. Further research into recognizing additional associations of bacterial and parasitic infections with cancer is mandatory.

“…This therefore indicates that ectopic skin disease may occur irrespective of the presence of other internal organ involvement. Although ectopic skin lesions have a characteristic morphology, the diagnosis is often not made initially on presentation and is only subsequently established by histopathologic examination 9 . This is not surprising in view of the extreme rarity of this cutaneous lesion and its ability to be the single presenting manifestation of schistosomiasis.…”

A histology-based retrospective study was carried out in Kuwait to determine the frequency and type of helminthic infestation of the appendix in this predominantly desert environment. In 1,674 consecutive appendectomies, 109 parasites (5.6%) of five species were detected: Schistosoma sp. 70 (4.1%), Enterobius vermicularís 36 (2.1%), and a single case each oíAscaris lumbricoides, Taenia sp. and Trichuris trichiura. Schistosomiasis was seen exclusively in immigrants of whom 12 had evidence of coexistent extra-appendiceal infestation of the urinary system. Suppuration in this group was common (79%) in addition to fibrosis (74%) and granulomata (43%). Enterobiasis seen in both natives and immigrants predominantly affected children. Suppuration in this group was uncommon (22%) but a fecalith or thick lumen contents containing the parasites were frequently seen (72%). It was concluded that parasite infestation of the appendix is important to report even in countries such as Kuwait which is nonendemic for many intestinal parasites. Such data contribute to further understanding of epidemiology, enable the diagnosis of easily treatable disease such as enterobiasis, or provokes a search for more significant extra-appendiceal infection as in schistosomiasis. Enterobiasis should be suspected in children and young adults with normal histology of the appendix. Examination of the lumen contents may improve the chances of detecting intraluminal parasites.
