ASCARIS LUMBRICOIDES.

Kirkland, Kartnlis, and Hoehler. I believe, however, that this is 
the first case of its kind reported in Asia and certainly in Ceylon. 
Several other observers, including Davaine, Laennac, have recorded 
cases of ascaris in the liver without abscess formation. 
With regard to the ascaris in the pancreas this is also apparently 
not very common, even assuming post-mortem entry, but there 
are only a very few cases recorded in which there was evidence 
in favour of an ante-mortem entry, and only one, by Durante, 
in which such entry was absolutely proved by the fact that the 
worm was found in a cyst of the pancreas caused by occlusion 
of the duct of Wirsung.
