This case report deals with an, in our regions, unusual diagnosis of coincidence of a genital schistosomiasis of a 30-year-old woman, coming from Africa. The female patient presented herself by a specialist because of longer lasting hypermenorrhoe. After clinical examination the patient underwent an operation because of an uterus myomatosus. The histopathological evaluation showed beside a leimyoma an expanded infestation with schistosomiasis haematobium. After pathological diagnosis the patient underwent the standard therapy with a single injection of praziquantel. We report about the clinic, epidemiology, morphology and diagnostic.
