Multiple liver masses in a patient with breast cancer, metastasis or not? An unexpected diagnosis: hepatic fascioliasis. A case report and overview of the literature from Turkey.

Radiological examinations demonstrated multiple masses that tended to form clusters in the liver parenchyma, and the lesions were initially thought to represent metastases from the breast cancer. Multisite biopsies and serological tests confirmed the diagnosis of infestation.
