摘　　要：BACKGROUND Strongyloides sterocoralis is a parasitic infection caused by a roundworm that is transmitted through soil contaminated with larvae.It can infrequently cause hepatic abscesses in immunocompromised patients and is rarely reported to form hepatic lesions in immunocompetent hosts.CASE SUMMARY We present a case study of a 45-year-old female who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and constitutional symptoms for several weeks.Crosssectional imaging identified several malignant-appearing liver masses.Further investigation,including serological testing and histopathologic examination,revealed the presence of serum Strongyloides antibodies and hepatic granulomas with extensive necrosis.Following treatment with ivermectin for 2 wk,there was complete resolution of the liver lesions and associated symptoms.CONCLUSION This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections,such as Strongyloides,in the differential diagnosis of hepatic masses.Early recognition and appropriate treatment can lead to a favorable outcome and prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.Increased awareness among clinicians is crucial to ensure the timely diagnosis and management of such cases.
