Lymphatic filarial disease is very common in tropical countries like India. The incidental finding of microfilariae in various benign cytologic smears is very common. Microfilariae in malignant effusions have also been reported, but their coexistence with solid malignant tumor at the primary site has not been reported so far.
A 45-year-old male presented with a painful, rapidly growing swelling over the right maxilla that had been present for three months. On routine fine needle aspiration cytology, a microfilaria along with squamous carcinoma cells in a primary solid malignant tumor of the maxillary antrum was found.
This is the first case reported in English of the incidental finding of a microfilaria in a primary tumor of the maxillary antrum.
淋巴丝虫病在印度等热带国家非常常见。在各种良性细胞学涂片中偶然发现微丝蚴很常见。恶性积液中也有微丝蚴的报道，但到目前为止，它们与原发部位实体恶性肿瘤并存的情况尚未见报道。
一名45岁男性，右上颌出现疼痛、迅速增大的肿物，已持续三个月。在常规细针穿刺细胞学检查中，在上颌窦原发性实体恶性肿瘤中发现了一条微丝蚴以及鳞状癌细胞。
这是英文报道的首例上颌窦原发性肿瘤中偶然发现微丝蚴的病例。
