We report a new European case of pulmonary dirofilariasis occurring in an Italian patient. The paper emphasizes the peculiar pathological features of Pulmonary Dirofilariasis, that, on clinical and radiological grounds, closely imitates primary or secondary neoplasms. The disease characteristically presents itself as a solitary subpleural coin-like lesion, histologically corresponding to a well demarcated, roughly spherical infarct, centered by a medium-sized thrombosed artery whose lumen contains the parasite, i.e. a Dirofilaria nematode.
我们报告了一例发生在意大利患者身上的欧洲新型肺丝虫病病例。本文强调了肺丝虫病独特的病理特征，基于临床和放射学表现，它与原发性或继发性肿瘤极为相似。该疾病典型表现为单个胸膜下硬币样病变，组织学上对应一个界限清楚、大致呈球形的梗死灶，中心为一条中等大小的血栓形成动脉，其管腔内含有寄生虫，即恶丝虫线虫。
