We reported two cases of pulmonary dirofilariasis in Nagasaki Prefecture. Each case was admitted to our hospitals for evaluation of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film taken for examination. We strongly suspected lung cancer before operation. It was resected in order to confirm the pathological diagnosis. There was a Dirofilaria immitis in the vessels surrounded by the necrotic tissues. The case of pulmonary dirofilariasis tends to increase in Japan, but the positive rate of dogs with Dirofilaria immitis tends to decrease, because of decreasing breeding places of mosquitoes by the spread of the public sewage system in Nagasaki City.
我们报告了长崎县的两例肺丝虫病病例。每例患者均因胸部X线片检查发现异常阴影而入院。术前我们高度怀疑为肺癌。为明确病理诊断进行了切除。在坏死组织周围的血管中发现了犬恶丝虫。在日本，肺丝虫病病例有增加趋势，但由于长崎市公共污水系统的普及导致蚊子滋生地减少，犬恶丝虫阳性犬的比例呈下降趋势。
