A case of granuloma, suspected as parasitic disease, which appeared in the submandibular region, is presented. A 59-year-old woman came to our clinic with a chief complaint of swelling of the left part in the submandibular region. Resection of the phyma was performed under general anesthesia. The 40×35×20 mm phyma was oval in shape, yellowish white, hard and elastic and was greywhite in the divided surface. The histopathological features of the resected specimen showed eosino cell infiltration with innumerable crystals (Charcotp-Leyden crystal) in the necrotic focus. The disease was diagnosed as parasitic granuloma, of which it was especially thought to be of gnathostoma.
