Abstract
Fasciola hepatica is a liver fluke of mammals widely distributed throughout the world. Clinical presentations of this parasite are usually biliary manifestations but in ectopic fascioliasis, symptoms are totally different and diverse. In this report we present a 24 year-old woman with a mass in her neck, a rare manifestation of the disease that seems to have many unknown aspects.
