Abstract

We describe a patient presenting with eosinophilia and liver lesions. A juvenile Fasciola gigantica emerged through the skin, an occurrence which has been only described in two patients so far. Ectopic manifestations usually appear shortly after infection, whereas the time before emergence was more than 1 year in our patient.
