    Introduction: Ascaris lumbricoides (AL), is an intestinal Parasite with various clinical presentations. It is common in underdeveloped rural areas both in Turkey and in the rest of the World; Ectopic localizations of AL are rare, and there only a few reported cases of mental localization. Case: We present a rare case in which an omental and a paratubal mass were detected during cesarean section in an asymptomatic pregnant patient. The histopathological examination revealed a granulomatous reaction and AL eggs inside the masses. Discussion: Infection With AL causes various intestinal complications like acute appendicitis, volvulus, invagination, intestinal perforation and gramdotnatous peritonitis. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that granulomatous lesions presenting as mental masses may be randomly detected in asymptomatic individuals and pregnant woman infected with AL.
