Abstract

Fasciola hepatica (FH) is a liver fluke that may mimic many other diseases, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. A 25-year-old patient who was admit- ted to our clinic with hepatic lesions and diagnosed with fascioliasis is presented in this report. Difficulties in the diagnosis of FH infestation and the role of radiological evaluation are emphasized. We suggest that FH infestation should be taken into consideration in patients being evaluated for hepatic mass and elevated liver enzymes, especially if accompanied by eosinophilia, or if the patient is known to have visited an endemic region.

Özet

Fasiola hepatica (FH) birçok hastalığı taklit eden bir karaciğer trematodu olup, tanıda zorluğa yol açabilir. Aşağıda 25 yaşında, hepatik lezyonlar ne- deni ile incelenirken fasioliasis tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Bu olgu sunumu ile FH infestasyonunun tanısında karşılaşılan zorluklar ve doğru tanıya ulaşmada radyolojik değerlendirmenin önemi vurgulanmak isten- miştir. Karaciğer enzimlerinde yükselme ve karaciğerde kitle nedeni ile incelenen olgularda, özelikle eosinofili eşlik ediyor ve hasta endemik bir bölgede bulunmuşsa FH infestasyonu olasılığı hatırlanmalıdır.
