Large Nematode Larva from the Abdominal Cavity of a Man in Massachusetts *

Abstract
A nematode larva, 31 mm long, was recovered from an aneurysm of the right common iliac artery surgically removed from a man in Massachusetts. Its finding appeared to be incidental as there was no evidence of any lesion produced by the larva. It was identified as a 3rd-stage larva of Phocanema or Terranova, a type not previously reported from man.
