A 5-year-old boy suffering fever,abdominal pain,tenderness,and rigidity in the right lower and upper quadrant of the abdomen was operated on,with the false diagnosis of acute abdomen,and exploratory surgery was carried out. The pathological examination of the liver biopsy revealed eosinophil-rich necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with Toxocara spp larva. The diagnosis was also confirmed by serologic results. Clinicians should remember that toxocaral visceral larva migrans may rarely mimic an acute abdomen and cause unnecessary operations.展开更多

Histopathological examination revealed a follicular and perifollicular infiltrate prevalently consisting of lymphocytes and neutrophils, with numerous eosinophils. Both patients were successfully treated with oral albendazole.展开更多
