title: [Biliary ascariasis--a case report].
abstract: A 60-year-old male suffered from abdominal pain, chills and fever for two weeks. A vivid Ascaris lumbricoides in the common bile duct and intrahepatic ducts was identified in operation. Chronic cholecystitis was also noted. We discuss the findings of multiple image modalities in biliary ascariasis and review the literature.
