Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Fascioliasis poses diagnostic challenges to clinicians for its broad spectrum of hepatobiliary symptoms and lower detection rates. Timely and precise identification avoids long‐standing hepatic complications. ABSTRACT: Fasciola hepatica, a trematode parasite, inhabits snails and sheep.

In this instance, the significance of clinical awareness, appropriate imaging, and serological investigations is demonstrated. A young Nepalese girl was diagnosed and managed successfully.
