ABSTRACT = {Urinary schistosomiasis is a prevalent parasitic infection 
in certain areas of Africa and the Middle East. It could 
present with common as well as unusual urological 
symptoms, which poses a considerable diagnostic 
challenge in countries where there is relative low incidence 
of the disease. We describe three unusual cases of 
urinary schistosomiasis identifi ed in patients presenting 
to a London hospital. One patient was found to have 
schistosomiasis in the seminal vesicles following surgery 
for prostatic adenocarcinoma. Another was found to 
have schistosoma-related granulomatous infl ammation 
within a urachal cyst. Thirdly a patient was found 
to have simultaneous occurrence of transitional cell 
carcinoma and schistosomiasis of the bladder. We review 
the literature on the presentations of the parasite and its 
association with malignancy. In conclusion, awareness 
of the disease prevalence, clinical and histopathological 
features will help to avoid missing the diagnosis.},
