Case Report: Filaria or Megasperm? A Cause of an Ultrasonographic "Filarial Dance Sign".

J Brad Wiggers1, Hyun-Jung Jang2, Jay S Keystone3.   

Abstract

Bancroftian filariasis can cause genital abnormalities related to chronic inflammation and obstruction of the afferent lymphatic vessels, and may demonstrate a "filarial dance sign" on scrotal ultrasound with mobile echogenic particles observed. We present a patient with a positive "filarial dance sign," travel within Latin America, and negative filarial serology.
