A Case of Hepatic Paragonimiasis Combined with Intrahepatic Bile Duct Stones

Paragonimiasis is essentially a pulmonary disorder, but many organs such as the brain, muscle, mesentery, genital tract, spinal cord, spleen, and liver may be involved. Cases of hepatic paragonimiasis presented with hepatic masses have rarely been reported in Korea. We experienced a case of hepatic paragonimiasis incidentally found after a hepatic resection for treatment of localized left intrahepatic stones in an asymptomatic 51-year-old female patient. We report this interesting case of hepatic paragonimiasis accompanied with intrahepatic bile duct stones with a review of literature.
