This is a case report of fascioliasis that progressed from the hepatic to the biliary phases over 2 years. A woman in her late 60s ate Zingiber mioga from the field, which was followed by abdominal pain that occurred 1 month later. Although CT and MRI studies revealed an increase in blood eosinophils as well as multiple hepatic nodules, they vanished quickly. After 2 years, an MRCP study revealed multiple flat lesions, which were diagnosed as adult fascioliasis. Definitive diagnosis was provided by enzyme-labeled antibody method using fasciola-specific antigen. Triclabendazole was administered once to complete the treatment.
