Abstract

Fasciola hepatica is an infestation mainly affecting animals like sheep and cattle, whereas humans are infected as accidental hosts. Unlike most of the parasitoses, there are reports suggesting that Fasciola hepatica infection is also frequently seen in developed countries. In the liver phase (acute phase), the patient's clinical picture and presence of peripheral eosinophilia may aid in the diagnosis, whereas in the biliary phase (chronic phase), flukes may be visualized via ultrasonography or ERCP. In the chronic phase, patients can present with cholangitis or obstructive jaundice. Herein, we present a 55-year-old female with the main complaint of abdominal pain and a presumed diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi tumor, who was later determined to have biliary fascioliasis after ERCP intervention.

Özet

Fasciola hepatica esas olarak sığır, koyun gibi hayvanları etkileyen, insanların rastlantısal konak olduğu bir bir enfestasyondur. Pekçok paraziter hastalığın aksine gelişmiş ülkelerde de sık görüldüğüne dair yayınlar vardır. Karaciğer ve biliyer fazları vardır. Karaciğer fazında (akut faz) hastanın kliniği ve periferik eozinofili varlığı tanıya yardımcı olabilirken biliyer fazda (kronik faz) ultrasonografi veya endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatografi ile fasciola hepatica görülebilir. Kronik fazda kolanjit, tıkanma ikteri gibi kliniklerle karşılaşılabilir. Burada karın ağrısı ile başvuran, görüntüleme yöntemleri ile Oddi tümörü olduğu düşünülen, endoskopik retrograd kolanjiopankreatografi ile tanı konulan biliyer fascioliasisli 55 yaşında kadın hasta sunulmaktadır.
