A case of extra-gastrointestinal anisakidosis mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis
We report a rare case of extra-gastrointestinal anisakidosis in a patient with abdominal pain. Initial computed tomography scan showed lesions concerning for peritoneal carcinomatosis. Endoscopy confirmed anisakidosis as the source of radiographic findings. Clinicians should consider anisakidosis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, omental lesions, and dietary risk factors.
