Abstract

It is well known that long-term infection with Clonorchis sinensis often causes bile duct cancer, usually. It occurs in the intrahepatic bile duct. We encountered a rare case of clonorchiasis complicated with duodenal papillary cancer. The patient was a woman from China. Although clonorchiasis is rarely found in Japan, the promotion of international exchange may increase the number of visitors from endemic areas. Thus we must pay sufficient attention to this disease. Also, we reported that the microplate ELISA technique was useful in the diagnosis of clonorchiasis with high accuracy in this case.<br>
