Hepatic fascioliasis: report of two cases

Two cases of hepatic fascioliasis with characteristic features in US examin ations and CT scans are presented. In both modalities they show tunnel-like branching and clustered areas of low echogenicity/density, which reach sub capsular regions. These cases are presented to recall the imaging features in hepatic fascioliasis especially outside endemic regions. Not only CT but also US is able to detect these characteristic lesions, which may help to make the diagnosis of hepatic fascioliasis in patients with clinical toms s uggestive of parasitic disease.
