Fascioliasis. 42-year-old woman with history of long-term fever. a-b Axial and coronal images of contrast enhanced-CT shows multiple subcapsular and confluent lesions in right hepatic lobe (arrows). Some of the lesions have a tubular shape. c. Contrast enhanced-CT image of the same patient 3 weeks later; the lesions have converged forming a greater ill-defined lesion with central areas compatible with necrosis/abscess (arrows). The patient presented with eosinophilia and positive serology for fasciola and was treated with antiparasitic drugs. d. Axial T1-weighted MR image without contrast a month later, demonstrating improvement of the hepatic affection, only residual tubular and pseudonodular lesions of low signal intensity remain (arrows)
