A case of occipital gnathostomiasis in Thailand.
A large subcutaneous nodule present for 2 mo was removed from the occiput of a 26-yr-old Thai man and found to contain a male Gnathostoma spinigerum. Aside from the occipital location, a noteworthy feature of the case was the long stationary persistence of the stable, non-tender nodule.
