A 53-year-old man who was a hepatitis B carrier had ultrasonography (USG) of the liver as part of routine surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma. The USG showed diffuse periportal hyperechogenicity (Fig 2a) and a hypoechoic mass in the right anterior segment. Computed tomography showed septal calcifications consistent with schistosomiasis. A 5-cm arterial, enhancing mass with washout of contrast during the porto-venous phase was noted in the right anterior segment of the liver. These features are Hepatic schistosomiasis P I C T O R I A L M E D I C I N E
