Histological examination at low-power view revealed a noncaseating granulomatous reaction to clusters of viable-appearing eggs in the dermis (Figure 2).
The granuloma is composed of epitheloid histiocytes and a lot of eosinophils and plasma cells (Haematoxylin-eosin x200).

The granuloma was composed of epitheloid histiocytes and a lot of eosinophils and plasma cells surrounded by a rim of lymphocytes (Figure 3).
Histology revealed numerous schistosome ova with terminal spines (arrow) characteristic of Schistosoma haematobium (Haematoxylin-eosin x400).
