Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Parasitology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic anisakiasis is an uncommon parasitic infection with challenging diagnosis.
  • Gastrointestinal manifestations are varied, often mimicking other conditions.

Observation:

  • A case of chronic anisakiasis presented with multiple gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • A palpable mesenteric mass was identified as a key clinical feature.

Findings:

  • The mesenteric mass was diagnosed using specific serology and histologic examination.
  • Computed tomography revealed characteristic imaging findings of the mesenteric mass.
  • This represents the first documented instance of pre-operative imaging detection of a mesenteric anisakiasis mass.

Implications:
