Genitourinary filariasis is a well-known entity in most tropical areas. However, filariasis cannot be eliminated from the differential diagnosis of testicular, epididymal, or spermatic cord masses in nontropical climes. We report a case of filariasis of the spermatic cord that manifested as an unexplained scrotal mass in a patient in Rochester, Minnesota.
泌尿生殖系统丝虫病在大多数热带地区是一种广为人知的疾病。然而,在非热带地区,丝虫病仍不能从睾丸、附睾或精索肿块的鉴别诊断中排除。我们报告一例精索丝虫病病例,该病例表现为明尼苏达州罗切斯特市一名患者出现不明原因的阴囊肿块。
