    A gallbladder mass mimicking a tumor was diagnosed as distomiasis, a parasitic infection. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic causes for gallbladder abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Parasitology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Gallbladder masses can present diagnostic challenges, with differential diagnoses including neoplastic and benign conditions.
    • Parasitic infections, though less common in some regions, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder pathology.

    Observation:

    • A 21-year-old male presented with biliary colic.
    • Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a 4 cm homogeneous, solid gallbladder mass without acoustic shadowing or postural mobility.
    • Eosinophilia was noted in blood cell counts.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation and imaging findings, coupled with eosinophilia, suggested gallbladder distomiasis.
    • Immunofluorescent testing confirmed the diagnosis.

  • Surgical intervention was performed.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the necessity of including parasitic infections like distomiasis in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis through serological tests and imaging is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Early identification and treatment of gallbladder distomiasis can prevent complications.
