Granuloma of brain due to schistosoma japonicum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/487167019

This refers to a granuloma of the brain in a parasitic disease caused by several species of trematodes (platyhelminth infection, or "flukes"), a parasitic worm of the genus Schistosoma. This diagnosis is due to an important parasite and one of the major infectious agents of schistosomiasis.
