Abstract:

Fasciola hepatica is a liver trematode that is endemic in some parts of Turkey. Clinical findings are nonspecific, such as abdominal pain and right upper quadrant tenderness. Eosinophilia, elevated liver enzymes and positive serology can be detected in laboratory investigations, while multiple nodules in the liver and dilated even ducts can be seen in imaging modalities. Triclabendazole is effective in the hepatic and biliary phases. Fasciola hepatica is also treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography by biliary duct removal. Here, we present a young woman who was evaluated with a mass in the liver and biliary tract dilatation caused by Fasciola hepatica and who was treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
