Lymphatic Filariasis Presenting as Asymptomatic Unilateral Inguinal Swelling
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Filariasis is endemic in the tropical areas of the world including India. Its common presentation is lymphadenopathy limited to groin and femoral triangle of thigh and also as filarial lymphoedema of legs. The finding rate of microfilaria worm has been reported to be only 0.078% of all samples from lymph node swellings which is rare. Conventional diagnostic investigations include the detection of microfilaria in the blood while in this case it was detected also in FNAC and again confirmed by excision biopsy of inguinal lymph node. Here we report a young female having asymptomatic unilateral inguinal swelling demonstrating lymphatic filariasis.
