AB  - A case of a 40-year-old female, in whom a 6-meter long worm (Taenia saginata) was 
      found in stomach, is reported here. In this patient, T. saginata upward migration 
      of the worm to the stomach, its rare phenomenon, worm mostly seen in the small 
      intestine. This is mainly because of the high gastric acidity. In this patient, 
      we believe proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use caused hypochlorhydria and coexistence 
      H. pylori infection caused chronic atrophic gastritis, which resulted in the 
      retrograde migration of the tapeworm to the stomach in our patient.
