A necrotic adult male filaria was found in sections of a dense, fibrous, subcutaneous nodule excised from below the breast of a 61-year-old woman, resident of Mie Prefecture in Honshu, Japan. Owing to its necrotic condition, and to a lack of essential knowledge of the comparative micro-anatomy of filarial worms, a differentiation between Dirofilaria and Dipetalonema species, or member of a related group, was not possible.
在一名61岁日本本州三重县女性乳房下方切除的致密纤维性皮下结节切片中发现了一条坏死的成年雄性丝虫。由于其坏死状态，以及缺乏关于丝虫比较微观解剖学的必要知识，无法区分恶丝虫属和双瓣线虫属物种或相关类群的成员。
