Presentation
The present report contributes to the importance of observing during cavity surgery the anatomy of the viscera and the presence of in the direction of clinical surgeon to anticipate the emergence of any kind of clinical symptoms caused by this nematode [scielo.org.co]
Multiple pulmonary nodules and hepatic lesions were also present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Dioctophymosis Clinical presentation in humans Individuals with Dioctophyme renale infection (known as dioctophymosis) typically present with unspecific symptoms including hematuria (blood in urine), nephritis, loin pain, renal enlargement, and/or renal [gbif.org]

Entire Body System
- Asymptomatic
Results of dioctophymosis may range from asymptomatic infection to even death of the host. Diagnosis is based on data from morphology, imaging, and antibody testing, with surgical treatment being the most effective. [bioone.org]
- Fever
Most of the earlier reports of dioctophymiasis in humans involved the finding of eggs or adult worms expelled in urine, usually accompanied by hematuria, and sometimes abdominal pain, fever, and eosinophilia. [cdc.gov]

Epidemiology
The complex epidemiological chain this is indirect life cycle that involves different species. [scielo.org.co]
[…] literature exist concerning the presence of D. renale in different animal species, as well as its diagnosis, treatment, and confirmation in new geographic areas, we reviewed existing information to contribute to the knowledge of the etiology, biology, epidemiology [bioone.org]
Epidemiology Though D. renale is distributed worldwide, though markedly less frequent in Africa and Oceania, human infection is extremely rare. Regions around the Caspian Sea have the highest number of cases, with the most occurring in Iran. [gbif.org]
Epidemiology and Pathology D. renale is a large red worm (20 to 100-cm by 5 to 12-mm in the case of the females; the males are smaller, 14 to 20-cm. The life cycle includes an intermediate host and the definitive host is a mammal. [isradiology.org]
