The clinical presentation of two patients was carried out, with the history of having consumed in their diet watercress, and presented digestive and general symptoms. One of the patients presented hepatomegalia; but both presented jaundice and eosinophilia; CAT scan was suggestive in both cases of the presence of hepatic hematomas, confirmed by laparoscopic study and surgical intervention. The definitive diagnosis of hepatic hematoma by fasciolasis was obtained during the operation and the postoperative study, added to the other important complementary exams in this entity.
