A 37-year-old woman exhibited abnormal liver enzyme levels without any symptoms at a medical check-up. She was born and raised in Hubei, China, and had immigrated to Japan in her mid-thirties. Ultrasonography revealed an enlarged caudate lobe of the liver and a wide moniliform portal vein, whereas computed tomography revealed lined calcification on the surface of the liver and on the collateral vein of the portal vein. Although imaging studies provided no critical findings, the crucial information that led to diagnosis was gained through the interview with the patient. Schistosomiasis japonica was known to be prevalent in her hometown, and she reported that her father's past infection was due to Schistosoma japonicum. Serological analysis demonstrated high levels of anti-S. japonicum antibodies, which were reduced using praziquantel administration.
