A case of human dirofilariasis of the abdominal cavity is reported from Japan. The patient, a 74-year-old man, died of liver cancer; postmortem examination revealed a granulomatous mass on the mesentery. In histologic sections there were cross-sections of a mature female nematode identified as a Dirofilaria. The cuticle had a smooth surface and consisted of four distinct layers. The inner cuticular layer had internal lateral longitudinal ridges, and the musculature of the body wall was of the high polymyarian type. On the basis of morphology of the worm, it is suggested that this may represent the first human case of Dirofilaria immitis occurring in the abdominal cavity.
日本报告了一例人体腹腔丝虫病病例。患者为一名74岁男性，死于肝癌；尸检发现肠系膜上有一个肉芽肿性肿块。在组织学切片中，有一条成熟雌线虫的横截面，鉴定为恶丝虫。角质层表面光滑，由四个不同的层组成。内侧角质层有内侧纵向脊，体壁肌肉为高多肌型。根据虫体形态，提示这可能是首例发生在腹腔的人体犬恶丝虫病例。
