Hepatobiliary fascioliasis: sonographic and CT findings in 87 patients during the initial phase and long-term follow-up
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of our study was to describe the initial and long-term imaging findings in hepatobiliary fascioliasis.
Conclusion: Most patients with fascioliasis have typical hepatobiliary imaging findings. It is important to know that residual fibrotic or necrotic foci may remain for years after cure. Long-term complications are rare in fascioliasis, and malignancy or cirrhosis related to the disease has not been observed.
