Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Bancroftian Filariasis is a tropical and subtropical disease caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and transmitted by the Culex mosquitoes. The diagnosis of it is conventionally made by demonstrating microlariae in the peripheral blood smear. Microlaria and adult larial worm have been incidentally detected in ne needle aspirates of various lesions. We here report a rare case presentation of Bancroftian lariasis in 38 years old male coming from an endemic area with swelling in subcutaneous tissue of right mid-arm. Our aim is to highlight the nding of microlaria in ne needle aspiration cytology in an unsuspected case at an unusual site. This case report signies the importance of FNAC in early diagnosis of lymphatic lariasis which may present as isolated lymphadenopathy and importance of meticulous screening cytological smears .
