The authors describe a case of anisakiasis in Sicily. The diagnosis was based on the knowledge that a contaminated fish, Lepidopus caudatus, had probably been absorbed, as well as on clinical intestinal symptoms, intestinal lesions observed by endoscopy and O.G.D.S, duodenal infiltration by eosinophilic polymorphonuclear, positive ELISA anisakis serology and successful treatment by albendazole.
