Fasciolosis, in its chronic phase, can cause biliary obstructive jaundice so the diagnosis is frequently confused with bile duct calculi. This is case report of a patient diagnosed with cholelithiasis who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (CPRE) and during the procedure, fasciola hepatica was found. Despite the cases reported in literature, in Cuba, there are few cases that have been diagnosed trematodoses by imagenological technique.

Keywords : Fasciola hepatica; obstructive jaundice; biliary via.
