Abstract:
Anisakiasis is a disease caused by human infection by the Anisakis larvae, a marine nematode found in raw or undercooked fish. Most of anisakiasis are found in gastric or intestinal mucosa, but Anisakiasis in the oral cavity is rare. So, we elaborate on it in the present report with a review of literatures. This is the first report about anisakiasis of oral cavity in the recent literatures in Korea.
