"Living in the bowel lumen, schistosomes lay eggs in the mesenteric veins; thus, these eggs can reach the portal vein. Species S. mansoni and S. japonicum are the most common. An inflammatory reaction and consequent granulomatous response within the portal venules will lead to periportal fibrosis as part of the healing process 1-3."
"Due to differences in egg size, S. mansoni eggs are deposited along the large portal veins of the hepatic hilum, whereas S. japonicum eggs are laid within the small peripheral portal veins 2."
"Associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly secondary to the S.Mansoni subtype ref."
"Imaging manifestations only occur late in the course of the chronic infection and there are some specific features related to the different distribution of the eggs depending on S. mansoni or S. japonicum infection."
