The histologic diagnosis of strongyloidiasis from biopsies and surgical specimens is usually performed incidentally and is unexpected in patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy or gastrointestinal resection for neoplasia or for identification of other intestinal diseases including Helicobacter pylori infection, cryptosporidiosis, gastric atrophy, or celiac disease.
