Abstract
MENENDEZ, Pablo; PARDO, Ricardo; DELGADO, Margarita and LEON, Carlos. Mesenteric tumor due to chronic anisakiasis. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2015, vol.107, n.9, pp.570-572. ISSN 1130-0108.
Intestinal anisakiasis is a rare parasitic disease and difficult to diagnose due to symptoms are not specific, so it is considered an underdiagnosed disease. The clinical suspicion with a correct diagnosis of anisakiasis allows the establishment of a correct treatment; in most cases, the resolution is possible with conservative treatment, avoiding unnecessary surgery to the preoperative differential diagnosis of acute abdomen. We report the case of a patient who required urgent surgery secondary to an exacerbation of chronic anisakiasis.
Keywords : Anisakiasis; Mesenteric tumor; Acute abdomen.
