Abstract
A case of Dirofilaria tenuis presenting as a breast nodule is reported in a patient who traveled to the southeast United States 6 months before the nodule was noted. It illustrates an unusual diagnostic problem, especially since it presented in a nonendemic area. The morphological criteria for diagnosis of D. tenuis in tissue sections are noted.Keywords
