Popis: Pulmonary paragonimiasis is a serious parasitic disease caused by the lung fluke larvae. In Russia, the partite is found in the south of the Far East. This article presents a rare clinical case of pulmonary paragonimiasis, which clinically and radiographically mimics the pulmonary tuberculoma. In 2012, the patient served in the Primorsky Krai (one of the natural paragonimiasis foci). In 2016, changes in the right lung were detected. In 2020, the patient underwent a lobectomy of the right lung. A thorough histopathological examination of the surgical material made it possible to reveal a disease, prescribe antiparasitic treatment and help the patient recover from the disease.
