A case of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis is presented. A complete nematode removed from the tumour in the occipital region of a 61-year-old woman was identified, on the basis of its anatomical and histological characteristics, as a nongravid adult female of the species Dirofilaria repens. The patient had probably been infected on the Canary Islands, Spain, 7 months previously. In the future, the clinical and laboratory staff in Slovenia will have to be more alert to the possibility of dirofilariasis in patients with subcutaneous tumours, particularly in individuals who had travelled to endemic areas several months or years before the tumour was detected.
本文报告一例人体皮下恶丝虫病病例。从一名61岁女性枕部肿瘤中取出的一条完整线虫，根据其解剖学和组织学特征，被鉴定为匐行恶丝虫的未孕成年雌虫。患者可能于7个月前在西班牙加那利群岛感染。未来，斯洛文尼亚的临床和实验室工作人员将不得不更加警惕皮下肿瘤患者患恶丝虫病的可能性，尤其是那些在肿瘤被发现前数月或数年前往流行地区旅行过的人。
