Filariasis is a major public health problem in India and microfilaria is sometimes seen during routine fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears, but it is very rare to find microfilaria coexistent with neoplastic lesions. Here we report a series of seven cases in which microfilaria is associated with neoplastic lesions. Out of these seven cases one is benign and six are malignant. Also we first time report the microfilaria coexistent with parotid pleomorphic adenoma, undifferentiated carcinoma thyroid and gall bladder carcinoma.
丝虫病是印度一个主要的公共卫生问题，在常规细针穿刺细胞学检查（FNAC）涂片时有时可见微丝蚴，但微丝蚴与肿瘤性病变并存的情况非常罕见。在此，我们报告了一系列7例微丝蚴与肿瘤性病变相关的病例。在这7例病例中，1例为良性，6例为恶性。此外，我们首次报告了微丝蚴与腮腺多形性腺瘤、甲状腺未分化癌和胆囊癌并存的情况。
