Abstract
Schistosomiasis is one of the commonest parasitic diseases affecting m ankind. Egyptian schistosomiasis (mansoni and haematobium) is capable of producing fibrosis and/or calcification, resulting in striking radi ological features in target organs. Our two cases with biliary and pan creatic calcification provide a combination of features not documented previously.
