[Subcutaneous Dirofilaria repens dirofilariasis].

The authors describe a case of Dirofilaria repens subcutaneous dirofilariasis, in a resident of Corsica (France). Epidemiological and morphological features are related for various species of Dirofilariasis. These data, mainly based on clinical history, are usually sufficient to exclude other forms of subcutaneous filariosis, especially tropical.
