Résumé
We report a case of gastric pseudoterranoviasis proven by gastrofiberscopy on Dec. 13, 1994. The 34-year-old male patient, residing in Chungju-shi, was admitted to Konkuk University Hospital complaining of prickling epigastric pain. The symptoms suddenly attacked him two days after eating raw marine fish at Chonan-shi. By the gastrofiberscopic examination, a long white-yellowish nematode was found from the fundus region of stomach. The worm was 34.50 x 0.84 mm in size, and was identified as a 3rd stage larva of Pseudoterranova decipiens judging from the position of the intestinal cecum. This is the 12th confirmed case of human pseudoterranoviasis in Korea.

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy(HOA) is a systemic disorder primary affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues and characterized by several(or all) of the followings ; 1) Clubbing of digits, 2) Persistent new bone formation particulary involving long bones of the distal extremites, 3) Symmetric arthritis-like changes in the joints and periarticular tissue, most commonly the ankles, knees, wrist, and elbows, 4) Increased thickness of the subcutaneous soft tissues in the distal one-third of the arms and legs, and 5) Neurovascular changes of the hands and feet, including chronic erythema, paresthesis, and increase sweating. Most of cases of HOA are secondary to intrathoracic neoplasms, while the remaining few cases are secondary to other disease in the chest or elsewhere. We experienced a case of HOA in association with lung abscess in 26-yr-old male and reported with a review of literatures.
