Tume Jara, Lucía, Ugarte Salvador, Cindy, Díaz Ferrer, Javier, Piscoya, Alejandro 12 1900 (has links)
ntroduction: Fasciola hepatica is a parasite of the class Trematoda. It commonly has been found in developing countries. When it infects humans is characterized by a triad of fever, pain in right upper quadrant and peripheral eosinophilia. We present a 67-year-old female from a rural town of the north of Lima, Peru, it was found abdominal pain, eosinophilia and focal hepatic lesions. For this reason, a hepatic mass was the initial suspicion. The hepatic biopsy was performed and one of the findings was eosinophilia. Fasciola hepatica infection should be considered as part of differential diagnosis in hepatic tumors with eosinophilia when the origin of the patient is from endemic areas of F. hepatica. / Fasciola hepática es un parásito de la clase Trematoda común en países en desarrollo. La infección en el ser humano se caracteriza por la triada de fiebre, dolor abdominal en el cuadrante superior derecho y eosinofilia. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 67 años procedente de una zona rural al norte de Lima, con historia de dolor abdominal de seis meses de evolución, con una imagen hipodensa hepática en el TAC abdominal y eosinofilia. La biopsia hepática mostró un infiltrado inflamatorio con eosinofilia. En el diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes con un tumor hepático y eosinofilia, se deben incluir infecciones parasitarias como F. hepatica; sobre todo en pacientes que proceden de áreas endémicas.
