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 se- rology can be detected in laboratory investigations, while multiple nodules in the liver and dilated bile ducts can be seen in imaging modalities. Tricla- bendazole is effective in the hepatic and biliary phases. Fasciola hepatica is also treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography by biliary duct removal. Herein, 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.

Özet

Fasciola hepatica infeksiyonu ülkemizin bazı bölgelerinde endemik olarak rastlanan bir karaciğer trematodudur. Klinik bulgular nonspesifik olup; karın ağrısı, sağ üst kadranda hassasiyet şeklinde olabilir. Laboratuvarda eozinofi- li, karaciğer enzimlerinin yükselmesi, pozitif seroloji görülür. Görüntüleme yöntemlerinde karaciğerde çok sayıda nodüller ve safra yollarında dilatasyon görülür. Triclabendazol hepatik ve biliyer fazda etkilidir. Endoskopik retrog- rad kolanjiopankreatografi ile canlı Fasciola hepaticaların biliyer kanaldan uzaklaştırılması ile de tedavi edilir. Burada karaciğerde kitle nedeniyle tetkik edilen, safra yollarında dilatasyona neden olan ve endoskopik retrograd ko- lanjiopankreatografi ile tedavi edilen fasciola hepaticalı genç bayan olgusu sunulmuştur.
