Paragonimiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by the zoonotic trematode Paragonimus spp., which is spread by eating uncooked or improperly prepared crabs. The parasite is endemic to Southeast Asia and Pacific regions. This disease is characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations due to its intricate migration path. Clinical signs and radiological findings often overlap and are similar to those of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer, so they are potentially misdiagnosed.
