We report herein a case of Echinostoma hortense Asada infection, which is known to derive from eating fresh frogs or loaches, which was discovered during routine gastrointestinal endoscopy. To our knowledge, this is the first report in Japan of E. hortense Asada infection observed by means of magnifying endoscopy.
