Parasitic worms were discovered inside the bile duct of a 70-year-old man during a routine examination.
The worms were identified as Clonorchis sinensis, and were present in the bile duct, causing a blockage.
According to the websiteDaily MailChinese doctors were able to extract five of these worms, which are characterized by their flat and curvy shape. This type of worm is believed to be common in East Asian regions and is usually transmitted to humans through eating raw fish and prawns.
The most shocking discovery was the discovery of a malignant tumor in the intestine of the aforementioned man during the operation. Although the patient had previously been diagnosed with colon cancer, the relationship between the worms and the tumor is still being studied.
The presence of these worms in the bile duct is dangerous, as it can in some cases lead to hepatitis and gallstones.
Although many infected people do not show symptoms, early diagnosis and effective treatment are essential to prevent complications.
