Lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is not routinely used for its identification. However, it has been detected incidentally, while doing FNAC for the evaluation of other lesions. We describe a presentation of occult filariasis with microfilariae (mf) in an isolated axillary swelling wherein FNAC was helpful in establishing the diagnosis.
淋巴丝虫病是热带和亚热带国家的一个主要公共卫生问题。细针穿刺抽吸细胞学检查（FNAC）通常不用于其诊断。然而，在对其他病变进行FNAC评估时，曾偶然检测到该病。我们描述了一例隐匿性丝虫病伴微丝蚴（mf）在孤立性腋窝肿胀中的表现，其中FNAC有助于确诊。
