Abstract
Parasites in India are a run-of-the-mill phenomenon. Protozoa, sporozoa, cestodes, nematodes and even trematodes – all have discovered a comfortable niche in the Indian soils. Literature spills with cases of all these parasites in varying degrees of their occurrence in the Indian subcontinent. The case being reported here, is out of the aforementioned league. The uncustomary nature of the parasite recovered from the gall bladder of a patient mandates its discussion here. An adult male with jaundice, cholangitis, cholecystitis, gall bladder calculi and, a worm ….Ascaris ?, Fasciola ?, ….let us unfold the diagnostic dilemma.
