  • Title: Human pulmonary dirofilariasis: report of a new European case.
    Author: Fabbretti G, Fedeli F, Alessi A, Boaron M, Salpietro V, Brisigotti M.
    Journal: Histol Histopathol; 1990 Jul; 5(3):311-3. PubMed ID: 2134386.
    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 imitates primary or secondary neoplasms. The disease characteristically presents itself as a solitary subpleural coin-like lesion, histologically corresponding to a well demarcated, roughly spherical infarct, centered by a medium-sized thrombosed artery whose lumen contains the parasite, i.e. a Dirofilaria nematode.
