Visceral larva Migrans (VLM) due to Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati is rare in developed countries. We report a series of nine cases of eosinophilic liver abscesses that were diagnosed in patients who attended the outpatient clinic and patients who were admitted to the hospital. All these patients were evaluated for complaints of fatigue, generalized body weakness and loss of appetite. Upon evaluation an imaging (ultrasound/CT/MRI) of the abdomen revealed multiple peripherally enhancing discrete as well as conglomerate hepatic lesions. The subtle and nonspecific clinical features of these patients on evaluation lead to the diagnosis of VLM.
