Abstract

Gastric anisakiasis might present as a submucosal tumor-like lesion in esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Cautious search is needed when it is suspected in order to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary invasive procedures.

Keywords: esophagogastroduodenoscopy; gastric anisakiasis; vanishing tumor.
