Summary

We report a case of the endoscopic discovery and removal of a specimen of Necator americanus hooked into the gastric mucosa of a black woman from Zaire.

We extracted the parasite by means of biopsy forceps. Signs of previous bites were seen in the antrum.

This exceptional localization might be due to a jejuno-duodeno-gastric reflux.
