Fasciolosis (liver fluke) of the breast in a male patient: A case report

Extra-hepatic fascioliasis with peritoneal malignancy tumor feature

“…Some reports have confirmed the migration of juvenile Fasciola spp. (Lee et al 1982;Chang et al 1991), also existence of gravid Fasciola in some organs was reported based on observation of tissue-embedded ova (Yazici et al 2005;Naresh et al 2006;Makay et al 2007;Ongoren et al 2009). …”

“…While both F. hepatica and F. gigantica live in the large biliary tracts and gallbladder normally and are the cause of histopathologic effects in these organs, extra-hepatic fascioliasis was documented in different organs of human especially in endemic areas (Zali et al 2004;Naresh et al 2006;Vatsal et al 2006;Ongoren et al 2009;Yi-Zhu and Zhi-Bang 2010). Some reports have confirmed the migration of juvenile Fasciola spp.…”

“…Ectopic fascioliasis usually caused by juvenile Fasciola spp. (Lee et al 1982;Chang et al 1991;Zali et al 2004;Yi-Zhu and Zhi-Bang 2010), but in recent years a few cases of tissue-embedded ova have been reported from different areas (Yazici et al 2005;Naresh et al 2006;Makay et al 2007;Marcos et al 2009;Ongoren et al 2009). In this report, an unusual manifestation of ectopic fascioliasis in peritoneum is presented.…”

Neurological and Ocular Fascioliasis in Humans

“…Egg granulomas have been described several times, including human pancreas (Chitchng et al, 1982), caecum (Park et al, 1984), peritoneum, and intestinal wall (Mohammadi-Ghalehbin et al, 2012). Several case reports refer to fasciolas in organs different from the liver and that should have been gravid based on observation of tissue-embedded eggs from different locations, such as the right iliac fossa (Park et al, 1984), pelvis (Yazici et al 2005), breast (Naresh et al, 2006), colon (Makay et al, 2007), and abdomen (Ongoren et al, 2009).…”

A Scoping Review of the Prevalence of Fascioliasis in Malaysia and Risk Factors for Infection

“…Since 1990, at least 25 cases of human fascioliasis have been reported in Thailand (19). In Malaysia, only one suspected case of human fascioliasis with an atypical clinical presentation has been reported (20). Human fascioliasis may have serious hepatic pathological consequences in the liver, with severe damage occurring due to migration of the flukes to other organs (21).…”
