Abstract:
Migration of roundworms into the biliary tree is a well-known complication of Ascaris lumbricoides infestation of the intestine. Massive infestation of the hepato-biliary tract is uncommon but can lead to complications if not treated. Here, we report two cases of acalculous cholecystitis caused by ascariasis.
