“…The diagnosis is made on clinical grounds in the endemic areas. Despite of large number of people affected worldwide, it is quite unusual to fi nd MF or adult worm in breast lump and few such cases have been documented in literature [3][4][5]7]. It is frequently caused by W. bancrofti.…”

Filariasis is a global health hazard. Incidence of fi lariasis is remarkably high in Indian subcontinent. Apart from typical cases it is not common to fi nd microfi laria and adult worm in tissue section and needle aspiration of the breast lump. Presence of microfi laria and adult worm in the breast is a rare fi nding. We report a case of fi larial nodule in the breast of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a painless mass in the breast since last 1 month. It was diagnosed as fi broadenoma breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed mainly chronic infl ammatory cells. The nodule was excised in toto and processed for histopathological examination. Histopathology confi rmed the adult worm with granuloma in the breast nodule.

“…Subcutaneous migration of the worm may result in local swellings with changing localisation (creeping eruption) [31]. In addition, rare cases of organ manifestation have been reported, affecting the scrotum, male genitals, female breast, lymphatic glands and peritoneum [2,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. OD is a variation of subcutaneous dirofilariasis with parasite localisation in the eye area [30].…”

Dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria spp. is an important vector-borne and largely zoonotic disease. In Russia, dirofilariasis is caused by two agents D. immitis and D. repens. The present article provides detailed analyses of human and canine dirofilariasis methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease, with particular reference to the control programmes. Information has been summarised from literature in different languages that are not readily accessible to the international scientific community. Human dirofilariasis was first registered in Russia in 1915, and recent reports showed that the total number of infected humans increases on average by 1.8 times every three years. Human dirofilariasis was registered in 42 federal subjects. Totally 1162 cases of subcutaneous dirofilariasis were registered in the Russian Federation between 1915-2013, the most frequently type of subcutanious dirofilariasis was ocular dirofilariasis (more than 50% cases). Seven cases of pulmonary dirofilarisis were registered in Russia. The treatment of human dirofilariasis includes surgical removal of worms only; in result preventive measure have major importance for reducing risk of Dirofilaria infection. Control programmes have been implemented by the government at all administrative levels including diagnosis and treatment of patients, identification, isolation, and treatment of infected dogs, monthly chemoprophylactic of dogs during spring-summer periods, and regular vector control.

Background: The fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an OPD procedure that is easy to perform, accurate, reproducible and cheap. Fine needle aspiration is a part of triple test to diagnose the breast lump. However a definitive conclusion should always be reached through histopathological examination Aim:The aim of our study is to correlate cytological diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis, to know clonicomorphologic spectrum of breast lump, and to figure out sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and efficiency of FNAC. Methods:Total 244 cases who were subjected to FNAC and then subsequent biopsy was sent in each case were taken into consideration for analysis from tertiary care center in north Gujarat from February 2014 to January 2017 for 3 years.Results: In our study,4 were males and 240 were females(1.64% and 98.36% respectively). Maximum cases of breast lump were in the 21-30 years age group. Out of total 244 cases 154(63.11%) were benign, 50(20.49%) cases were malignant, 08 (3.27%) were suspicious for malignancy and 32(13.11%) were other nonneoplastic. Out of total 244 cases, 241 were consistent on histopathology and 3 were inconsistent. Our study have Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value, and Efficiency to be 98.24%, 98.93%, 96.55%, 99.46% and 98.77% respectively. Conclusion:FNAC helps the surgeon on further accurate management of lump as it is sensitive and specific. FNAC results should be correlated with clinical findings and radiological investigations. Inconclusive results and on FNAC should always be confirmed with biopsy.
