RESUMEN
Fascioliasis is an uncommon zoonotic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica, a liver fluke, for which humans act as an accidental host, infected by the ingestion of water or raw aquatic vegetables contaminated with the metacercaria. We report the case of a patient who presented to our clinic with right upper abdominal pain and nausea. Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography revealed cholelithiasis. Peripheral blood eosinophilia was the only positive sign observed during routine laboratory tests. We therefore decided to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During laparoscopy peritoneal implants approximately 0.5-1 cm diameter were detected which gave an impression of peritoneal carcinomatosa. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, and biopsies were taken from the peritoneal implants which were examined histopathologically, and fascioliasis was determined.
