Abstract:
Filariasis is endemic in India with large number of
cases being reported every year. In endemic areas,
filariasis may be entirely asymptomatic even with high
microfilaraemia. We report an unusual case of
filariasis in a 20 year old woman, who presented with a
swelling in the medial aspect of the left upper arm
since 6 months which was clinically suspected as a
neoplastic lesion. On histopathological examination diagnosis of microfilaria was offered.
