<body><sec id="sec1-1"><title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Filariasis is an infectious parasitic disease and is regarded as a major public health problem in the tropical countries of Africa, Southern America, and Asia. Transmitted by the Culex mosquito, humans serve as the definitive host. <italic>Wuchereria bancrofti</italic>
accounts for more than 90% of the cases of the world followed by <italic>Brugia malayi</italic>
and <italic>Brugia timori</italic>
.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
] The adult <italic>W. bancrofti</italic>
may produce lesions in various sites by affecting the lymphatics of the lower limbs, spermatic cord, epididymis, testis, retroperitoneum, and female breast.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
] However, finding adult gravid worms by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of breast with granulomatous inflammation has rarely been reported. Here, we report the case of a 30-year-old lady who presented with a tender breast lump with the clinical suspicion of fibroadenosis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec1-2"><title>CASE REPORT</title>
<p>A 30-year-old lady presented to the outpatient department with a painful swelling in her left breast. She had first noticed the swelling 2 weeks back and stated that the size was increasing slowly. There was no history of cyclical mastalgia. The patient was suffering from fever and had already undergone routine examination of peripheral blood. The report showed a hemoglobin level of 10.8 g/dl with a normal total leucocyte count and mild eosinophilia (differential count of eosinophil - 08%). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was high, the value being 80 mm in the first hour. On examination, a 2 × 2 cm swelling was seen in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. The swelling was soft with vague margins and was mildly tender.</p>
<p>FNAC was performed by a 24 G needle fitted to a 10 cc syringe and yielded a granular material admixed with a turbid fluid. The smears were stained with the May–Grunwald–Giemsa (MGG) stain and hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) stain. The cellular smears from the aspirate showed gravid adult filarial worms with a preserved outer cuticle layer. Numerous microfilariae were seen coming out from the paired uteri. The microfilariae incited a foreign body reaction in the form of multinucleated giant cells and granulomas [Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
]. The microfilariae were rounded anteriorly and uniformly tapering posteriorly with a clear space free of nuclei at the caudal end – thus morphologically resembling <italic>W. bancrofti</italic>
. There was presence of few ductal cells of breast as well. The fluid-mixed background was dirty with a fair number of neutrophils, few eosinophils, cyst macrophages, and cellular debris. A diagnosis of filariasis of breast with granulomatous and foreign body reaction was made. A midnight blood sample taken after 2 days showed motile microfilariae on wet mount preparation. The patient was treated with amoxicillin-clavulinic acid, albendazole, and diethylcarbamazine (DEC). The swelling had disappeared when the patient came for follow-up after 2 weeks.</p>

<sec sec-type="discussion" id="sec1-3"><title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>The medical literature documents filariasis back to 600 BC by Sustruta who recognized the clinical manifestation of elephan-tiasis and referred it as elephantiasis arabicum.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
] Filariasis is a global problem and India is also badly hit by it. The heavily infected areas in our country are found in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Gujarat.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
]</p>
<p>There are eight species of microfilaria of which <italic>W. bancrofti, B. Malayi</italic>
, and <italic>B. timori</italic>
are responsible for lymphatic filariasis. Of these, the first two are common in India and they show nocturnal periodicity. Humans serve as the definitive host while infected mosquitos (<italic>Culex quinquefasciatus</italic>
for bancroftian filariasis and Mansonia mosquitos for brugian filariasis) serve as the vectors. The adult worms harbor in the lymphatic system of man. The males are about 40 mm long and the females range between 50 and 100 mm in length. The viviparous females usually give rise to as many as 50,000 microfilariae per day.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
] The parasites usually involve the lymphatics and cause fever, lymphangitis, lymphadenitis, and lymphedema resulting in elephantiasis. Besides they also cause hydrocele, chyluria, epididymoorchitis, etc. In spite of various reports stating the presence of microfilaria using aspiration cytology in various sites like spermatic cord, epididymis, testis, retroperitoneum,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
] soft tissue,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
] breast,[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
] etc., reports of adult worms in cytological aspirates are sparse. Pandit <italic>et al</italic>
.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
] and Azad, <italic>et al</italic>
.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>
] reported the presence of adult filarial worms in soft tissue swellings. Satpathi <italic>et al</italic>
.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>
] reported a rare case of adult filarial worms in the breast aspirate. Thus, barring a few reports, the presence of an adult gravid filarial worm in a breast lesion by FNAC is an extremely rare finding. The presence of a host response in the form of foreign body reaction and granuloma formation is also a unique finding. Patrikar <italic>et al</italic>
.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
] reported a case of breast filariasis where cytological smears did not yield any granuloma but the excised breast lump showed histopathological features of an adult filarial worm with surrounding granulomatous inflammatory reaction. They opined that although the presence of filarial granuloma is rare in India, the presence of any unexplained granuloma of breast should prompt a search for a filarial etiology.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
] The patient responded well to a combined treatment of antibiotics, albendazole, and a 12-day oral course of DEC. The patient did not develop any complication during the treatment period. The breast swelling gradually resolved within 2 weeks of the initiation of therapy.</p>
