A case of extra-gastrointestinal infection by Anisakis in a woman living in Catania (Sicily, Southern Italy) is described. The patient complained of severe pain in the ileocecal region, and a diagnosis of acute appendicitis led to an appendectomy. During the intervention, a laparoscopic exploration showed a nodule on the large omentum that was surgically removed. Parasitological diagnosis was achieved on the basis of morphological observations carried out on the histological sections of the nodule.

Abstract
A case of extra-gastrointestinal infection by Anisakis in a woman living in Catania (Sicily, Southern Italy) is described. The patient complained of severe pain in the ileocecal region, and a diagnosis of acute appendicitis led to an appendectomy. During the intervention, a laparoscopic exploration showed a nodule on the large omentum that was surgically removed. Parasitological diagnosis was achieved on the basis of morphological observations carried out on the histological sections of the nodule.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
