“…reported that they diagnosed and treated asymptomatic anisakiasis incidentally during colonoscopy, and they submitted a figure that revealed an Anisakis larva penetrating the mucosa of the ascending colon by retroflexion in the ascending colon, but the patient in that case had a submucosal tumor (SMT) about 3 cm in diameter in the ascending colon, and the Anisakis larva was found behind the SMT 7 ) . Colonic anisakiasis often manifests as an SMT 7 , 8 ) . In our case, the anisakiasis did not manifest as an SMT, and the Anisakis larva was incidentally found penetrating the mucosa and was removed during routine colonoscopy by retroflexion in the ascending colon.…”

A 74-year-old man with diabetes underwent colonoscopy as routine screening for colon cancer. An Anisakis larva was found incidentally during colonoscopy using the retroflexion technique in the ascending colon, and was removed using a forceps. Asymptomatic colonic anisakiasis is very rare, and few reports have described diagnosis and treatment of anisakiasis during colonoscopy by the retroflexion technique in the ascending colon. We have reported this rare case along with a literature review.

“…A few reports describing colonic anisakiasis were mostly short case reports and asymptomatic colonic anisakiasis appears to be very rare [ due to persistent local inflammation and granulation [25], which sometimes cause intussusception [27]. Anisakis larvae have also been incidentally found in the surface of gastric and colonic tumors [1] [22].…”

Anisakiasis can involve any part of the digestive tract, but most cases reported have involved the stomach; few reports have described colonic anisakiasis. Furthermore, asymptomatic colonic anisakiasis has been reported to be very rare. A 58-year-old Japanese male asymptomatically received colonoscopy due to a fecal occult blood testing positive, and an Anisakis larva was removed in the ascending colon. After colonoscopy, an detailed questionings concerning eating raw fish revealed that the patient ate the liver of raw filefish 21 days before the colonoscopy. Thus, questionings concerning eating the raw fish were very important and helpful for correct diagnosis. This case report demonstrated that colonic anisakiasis can be diagnosed by colonoscopy before severe complications (intestinal obstruction, perforation, and cancer development) occur. Also, biopsy forceps could be used to remove the Anisakis worms, demonstrating that diagnosis and treatment can be simultaneously performed.
