AB  - Disseminated Strongloides stercoralis is a common phenomenon among patients with 
      immunosuppression. In this report, we present a case of disseminated Strongloides 
      stercoralis presenting as a gastric mass in a 42-year-old male patient with a 
      known history of HIV-1 infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The patient 
      presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of acute on chronic erosive 
      gastritis, which included persistent vomiting. Endoscopic examination revealed a 
      gastric mass with no signs of malignancy or dysplasia. There was noted to be 
      chronic inflammation along with morphologic features consistent with the larvae 
      and eggs of Strongloides nematodes in a biopsied gastric mass tissue and 
      duodenum. The disease subsequently resulted in death despite the administration 
      of ivermectin.
