Ectopic paragonimiasis has been diagnosed in many organs such as the mesentery, ovary, pleura, central nervous system, subcutis and very rarely in the liver. However, simultaneous involvement of the colon and liver, which mimics colonic cancer with liver metastasis, is quite unusual, and to our knowledge has never been reported. Our case is a 63 year old woman who visited our hospital because of upper abdominal pain. Radiologically, space occupying lesions were detected in the transverse colon, mesocolon and left hepatic lobe. After the radical presection, they were proved to be an ectopic paragonimiasis forming multiple cavitary parasitic granulomas with Charcot-Leyden crystals and degenerating eggs.
