A 30-year-old woman presented with a palpable subcutaneous nodule in the areolar region of the left breast. Sonomammographic examination revealed 2 cystic lesions showing typical "filarial dance" as vigorous twirling movement of multiple curvilinear echoes with mixed red blue color Doppler signals that was non-rhythmic, nonpulsatile, and the characteristic pulse Doppler trace due to irregular worm movement. Real time sonographic demonstration of these typical features is pathognomonic for filariasis, especially in endemic areas and treatment should be initiated without delay on the basis of ultrasound.
一名30岁女性，左乳晕区可触及皮下结节。乳腺超声检查发现2个囊性病变，表现为典型的“丝虫舞动”，即多个曲线状回声剧烈旋转运动，伴有红蓝混合彩色多普勒信号，无节律、无搏动，且因蠕虫不规则运动而具有特征性脉冲多普勒轨迹。这些典型特征的实时超声表现对丝虫病具有诊断意义，尤其是在流行地区，应根据超声检查结果立即开始治疗。
