Abstract

Gravid adult female worms of Wuchereria bancrofti were observed in fine needle aspirates of soft tissue swellings from three patients. An inguinal lymph node was aspirated in two cases, and a breast nodule was the site of aspiration in the third case. In one of the inguinal lymph node aspirates, two adult gravid female worms were identified.
