Abstract

•He experienced a long gap without symptoms that were relieved following the surgery performed in his infancy. Nonetheless, no biopsy examination from the duodenum has been done preoperatively. It could explain the delay in reaching the definitive diagnosis.•We submitted him to two surgeries.•Every patient that comes from an endemic area for Strongyloides stercoralis the hypothesis of strongyloidiasis should be considered and biopsies on stomach and duodenum should be made.
