Calcified guinea worms in breast.

A fifty year old female from rural area attended medical OPD with a history of fever and productive cough of 6 days duration. Her routine blood investigations were normal. However, her X-ray chest revealed nodular, heterogeneous calcified opacities in both lower zones, possibly representing calcified guinea worms. On further interrogation she gave history of lumpish feeling in both breasts and a past history suggestive of guinea worm infection and that three times thread like worms had been taken out from her lower limbs. She was consuming unsafe drinking water from an open pond.
