Filarial breast lump.

Dwijesh Kumar Panda1, Devi Prasad Mohapatra2, Madhusmita Mohanty Mohapatra3.   

Abstract

Lymphatic filariasis is one of the most debilitating and disfiguring scourges among all diseases. This report presents a case of a woman with recurrent breast nodularity after being previously operated for a suspected breast neoplasm. We would like to highlight the issue of similar clinical presentation of a filarial breast lump and other breast lesions leading to inappropriate therapy. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017.
