Extra-gastrointestinal anisakiasis is a rare disorder characterized by penetration of live larvae through gastrointestinal wall into peritoneal cavity, such as omentum and mesentery. A 25-year-old woman who complained of left lower abdominal pain visited our hospital for further evaluation. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a mass-like lesion in the left omentum, with increased attenuation of surrounding fatty tissues.

Omental torsion was suspected, and partial omentectomy was performed. Postoperative pathology revealed anisakiasis larvae, leading to a definitive diagnosis of extra-gastrointestinal anisakiasis. Extra-gastrointestinal anisakiasis has many similarities with omental torsion on CT findings, leading to difficulties to differentiate these two disorders. Eosinophils elevation in blood tests may contribute to the correct diagnosis, along with detailed taking of food history. Although rare incidence, extra-gastrointestinal anisakiasis should be considered for the differential diagnosis of painful peritoneal masses, when eosinophils elevation and the history of raw fish ingestion are present.
