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.
