AI Article Synopsis
- * The patient's condition was diagnosed through imaging techniques, revealing a low-density area in the liver and subsequent surgical extraction of a tissue specimen.
- * Pathological analysis showed necrotizing eosinophilic granuloma containing nematode larvae, confirming the presence of A. pegreffii through molecular and phylogenetic methods, aiding in the future identification of Anisakis species.
Article Abstract
Extra-gastrointestinal anisakidosis is rare. We herein report an Anisakis pegreffii infection in a patient with hepatic anisakidosis diagnosed based on its molecular identification. A 71-year-old male patient had a hepatic tumor presenting as a low-density area of 20 mm in diameter in segment 6 of the liver on abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The surgically resected pathological specimen revealed a necrotizing eosinophilic granuloma containing nematode larvae, possibly an Anisakis larva. Molecular and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated Anisakis larvae belonging to A. pegreffii. The present results will help identify and characterize unknown Anisakis species in histological sections.
