Colonic polyp secondary to Anisakis simplex.

چکیده
The nematode Anisakis simplex is a parasite spread worldwide which infects consumers of raw or barely cooked fish. Clinically, it manifests itself in varied ways, from asymptomatic patients to others with allergic or digestive symptoms depending on the part of the digestive tract in which the larva lodges. We here present a case of incidental discovery of colonic eosinophilic granuloma, secondary to anisakiasis in an asymptomatic patient.
