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.
