  • Title: Pulmonary dirofilariasis mimicking lung cancer.
    Author: Gómez-Merino E, Chiner E, Signes-Costa J, Arriero JM, Zaragozí MV, Onrubia JA, Mayol MJ.
    Journal: Monaldi Arch Chest Dis; 2002 Feb; 57(1):33-4. PubMed ID: 12174700.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 30-year-old asymptomatic farmer who underwent a pulmonary segmentectomy due to the casual finding of a pulmonary nodule in preoperative chest radiography. As bronchoscopic samples rule out mycobacterium infection and malignancy, surgery could have been avoided with the use of serological tests and radiographic follow-up based on epidemiology of dirofilariasis in our country.
