متن کاملPulmonary dirofilariasis. The largest single-hospital experience.
Pulmonary dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria immitis, the dog heartworm, is a rarely reported pulmonary lesion. It most often appears as a solitary pulmonary nodule, often mistaken for a primary or metastatic lung tumor, and the diagnosis is not often established until thoracotomy with excisional lung biopsy is performed.
