Abstract :
Filariasis is a major social and economic burden in tropical countries. Breast is an uncommon site for the occurrence of a filarial nodule with limited published data. In this study we report a 27-year female presented with complaint of left breast lump. FNAC showed numerous scattered sheathed uncoiled and coiled microfilaria. The present case report will help clinicians and pathologists to understand that a thorough search for microfilaria organisms is mandatory when cytopathology is performed on cases with subcutaneous breast lumps especially in patients of endemic countries like India.
