Parasites in the human breast are uncommon but not rare. Cysticercus and filariasis in fine needle breast aspirates have been documented and their cytomorphology is well characterised. However, the host tissue response to these parasites and the factors responsible for their initiation are not clear. Over a 21 year period, 28 cases of breast parasites (16 cases of cysticercus and 12 of filariasis), diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, were reviewed to assess the host tissue response.
人体乳房中的寄生虫并不常见,但也并非罕见。细针穿刺乳房抽吸物中的囊尾蚴和丝虫病已有文献记载,其细胞形态学特征也很明确。然而,宿主组织对这些寄生虫的反应以及引发这些反应的因素尚不清楚。在21年的时间里,对28例经细针穿刺细胞学诊断的乳房寄生虫病例(16例囊尾蚴病和12例丝虫病)进行了回顾,以评估宿主组织的反应。
