Description
Abstract
We report a new European case of
pulmonary dirofilariasis occurring in an Italian patient.
The paper emphasizes the peculiar pathological
features of Pulmonary Dirofilariasis, that, on clinical and
radiological grounds, closely irriitates primary or
secondary neoplasms.
The disease characteristically presents itrelf as a
solitary subpleural coin-like lesion, histologically
corresponding to a well demarcatec,, roughly spherical
infarct, centered by a medium-sized thrombosed artery
whose lumen contains the parasite, i.e. a Dirofilaria
nematode.
