Lymphatic filariasis is one of the most debilitating and disfiguring scourges among all diseases. This report presents a case of a woman with recurrent breast nodularity after being previously operated for a suspected breast neoplasm. We would like to highlight the issue of similar clinical presentation of a filarial breast lump and other breast lesions leading to inappropriate therapy.
淋巴丝虫病是所有疾病中最使人衰弱和致残的灾祸之一。本报告介绍了一例女性病例，该女性在先前因疑似乳腺肿瘤接受手术后出现复发性乳腺结节。我们想强调丝虫性乳腺肿块与其他乳腺病变临床表现相似导致治疗不当的问题。
