Abstract Five cases of parasitic and mycotic infection affecting the biliary tract are reported. Special attention is paid to the radiological presentation of chlonorchiasis, ascariasis, echinococcosis, and candidiasis of the biliary tract. Each entity is briefly described, and the differential diagnosis and specific radiological patterns are discussed. Biliary tract manipulation with a balloon catheter and endoprosthesis is presented as an option for management of the biliary obstruction in some cases.
