A case report on a 64-year-old male with pulmonary dirofilariasis cytologically mimicking lung cancer is presented. By transbronchial brushing cytology, several suspect cells with a papillary arrangement showing a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, irregularity of nuclear shape, nuclear enlargement and a macronucleolus were obtained. These cells seemed to originate in the reparative process of the bronchiolar epithelium around the infarcted lesion containing Dirofilaria immitis.
本文报告一例64岁男性肺丝虫病病例，其细胞学表现酷似肺癌。经支气管刷检细胞学检查，发现了几个呈乳头样排列的可疑细胞，这些细胞核质比高、核形不规则、核增大且有一个大核仁。这些细胞似乎起源于包含犬恶丝虫的梗死病灶周围细支气管上皮的修复过程。
