Abstract
Subcapsular liver hematoma is an uncommon and underdiagnosed manifestation of fascioliasis. We report 6 cases and review 21 previous reports. The mean age was 51 years; 12 cases were from Peru; and 18 were women. Only 6 patients required surgical drainage. Medical management is the mainstay treatment.
