A case of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis occurred in a 53 years old woman from Scafati (Salerno province). It was localized in the left submammary region. The patient was operated 16 years ago for a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. For this reason a metastasis was clinically suspected. The histological examination revealed the presence of a granulomatous nodule formed around a Dirofilaria repens gravid female in the subcutaneous tissue. The presence of microfilariae in the uterus of the nematode would suggest that also a mature male was present at the same time in the patient, although it was not possible to localise it. Haematic eosinophilia was observed.
一名来自斯卡法蒂（萨勒诺省）的53岁女性发生了一例人体皮下恶丝虫病。病变位于左乳房下区域。该患者16年前因甲状腺乳头状癌接受手术。因此临床上怀疑有转移。组织学检查显示，皮下组织中围绕一条成熟雌性链尾恶丝虫形成了一个肉芽肿结节。线虫子宫内存在微丝蚴表明患者体内同时也存在一条成熟雄虫，尽管无法定位它。观察到血液嗜酸性粒细胞增多。
