Abstract
- Fasciola hepatica is a parasite of the Trematoda class, found worldwide but primarily seen in cattle-raising countries. It usually settles in the biliary tract and causes nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, right upper quadrant tenderness, and fever in humans. Parasitological examination of stool or bile samples is required for definitive diagnosis. In our case, demonstrative histopathological features of Fasciola hepatica adult parasite seen in a 38-year-old female patient suffering from abdominal pain were evaluated. Fasciola hepatica, a rare parasite in pathology practice, should be considered in the diagnosis in the presence of nonspecific gastrointestinal complaints because it can be seen worldwide as well as in endemic regions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
