Abstract: A 59-year-old female presented to the gastroenterology clinic of our hospital after passing proglottids in her stool. Capsule endoscopy revealed a white cestode in the small intestine. Amidotrizoic acid was administered through a duodenal tube, and the tapeworm was expelled about 10 minutes later. The tapeworm was subsequently identified as Taenia asiatica by DNA sequencing.
