The chest pain is one of the most common reasons for consultation of the patients seen in the emergency services of hospitals. Still being the acute coronary syndrome one of the first causes to confirmed by its important repercussions, we do not have to forget other reasons. We report a case of acute anginalike chest pain due to gastric anisakiasis. The larvae of Anisakis in the gastric mucosa were found and extracted endoscopically. Gastric anisakiasis should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute chest pain.
