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.
