Despite a high prevalence of canine dirofilariasis, there is no case of pulmonary dirofilariasis reported from Thailand. We herein report a case of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis who had an incidental pulmonary dirofilariasis found at the time of autopsy as a solitary nodule at the periphery of the right lower lobe. This is the first reported case in Thailand. Association between pulmonary dirofilariasis and Langerhans cell histiocytosis has not been described before in the literature.
尽管犬恶丝虫病的患病率很高，但泰国尚未报告过肺恶丝虫病病例。我们在此报告一例多系统朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症患者，其在尸检时偶然发现肺恶丝虫病，表现为右下叶周边的一个孤立结节。这是泰国首例报告病例。此前文献中尚未描述过肺恶丝虫病与朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症之间的关联。
