Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old Peruvian man on long-term corticosteroid therapy for a drug allergy and proton pump inhibitors for chronic dyspepsia symptoms. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed multiple white granular lesions and widespread erosions in the stomach. Our findings indicate that gastric strongyloidiasis should be carefully considered in high-risk patients even if endoscopic findings are nonspecific.
