ABSTRACT
Anisakiasis is one of the fish-transmitted infections that result from the accidental ingestion of third-stage larva belonging to the family Anisakidae. A large number of cases of gastric anisakiasis have been reported in countries where the eating of raw fish is customary; however, there have been very few reports of anisakiasis involving the oral cavity and oropharynx. A 46-year-old woman complained of sore throat shortly after eating raw flatfishes. The oropharyngeal examination revealed two living tubular spinning objects in the submucosal layer of left posterior pillar. It was removed with biopsy forceps. We report a very rare and unique case of anisakiasis in oropharynx confirmed by pathologic findings. To best of our knowledge, this is the first case report involving oropharyngeal anisakiasis in Korea.
