title: Ascending colon cancer associated with deposited ova of Schistosoma japonicum in non-endemic area.
abstract: Some reports suggest the positive correlation between Schistosoma japonicum infection and colorectal cancer, however the sufficient evidence that supports a causal relationship between them has not been established. Japan used be an endemic area ofS. japonicuminfection for 40 years ago. But now all of Japan is a non-endemic area ofS. japonicuminfection. We report a case of ascending colon cancer associated with deposited ova ofS. japonicumin non-endemic area.
