RESUMEN
Two cases of fascioliasis gigantica from Northeast Thailand presenting with cholecystitis and gall stones were reported. Both cases complained of abdominal pain. On laparotomy the worms were found. In one case five worms were recovered during bile duct exploration and bile drainage; eggs were also revealed in the bile. In the other case of ectopic fascioliasis one young adult worm was found in a nodule which adhered to liver and diaphragm. The parasites were identified as Fasciola gigantica.
