Abstract:
Multiple hypoechoic areas within the liver may be caused by a large variety of disorders. We report a case of Toxocara infestation which produced such an appearance within the liver of an 18-month-old child. We believe that this is the first report of Toxocara granulomata detected by ultrasound, and suggest that ultrasound examination may provide a useful diagnostic clue to this disease.
