[Unusual echographic aspects of hepatic distomiasis].
The authors report, a pediatric case of hepatic fascioliasis with an unusual ultrasonographic aspect; that is a hypoechoic intrahepatic nodule with an extrahepatic prolongation through a thickened capsule. This ultrasonographic appearance, which has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge, seems to reflect the parasite migration.
