A 51-year-old white man had proptosis, pain, and inflammation of the left orbit and later developed diplopia. Treatment with antibiotics relieved most of the symptoms but a localized painful mass persisted in the left orbit. On biopsy a Dirofilaria worm was found. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and the residual nodule subsided. The patient was seen regularly for five months after surgery and the lesion has not recurred.
一名51岁的白人男性出现左眼突出、疼痛和炎症，随后发展为复视。抗生素治疗缓解了大部分症状，但左眼眶仍有一个局部疼痛性肿块。活检发现一条恶丝虫。患者接受了皮质类固醇治疗，残留结节消退。术后五个月定期对患者进行观察，病变未复发。
