Abstract
A 36-year-old man presented with right upper abdominal pain of 6 months in duration. It was associated with loss of weight and appetite. He had a poultry farm and had exposure to dogs. Investigations revealed eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 4390 cells/mm 3 . Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan of the abdomen revealed multiple ill-defined hypodense lesions in both the lobes of the liver [Figure 1]. Viral and tumor markers were negative. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration from the liver lesion done elsewhere was inconclusive, and the patient was referred to us for EUS.
