ABSTRACT Anisakidosis is a parasitic infection caused by anisakid nematodes in the genera Anisakis and Pseudoterranova . Infection is not uncommon in the United States due to increased raw seafood consumption. We report the first known case of parametrial anisakidosis in a 42-year-old woman and review existing literature.
