Abstract

Filariasis due to Wucheria bancrofti is endemic to Southern Asia. While the laboratory diagnosis has been conventionally made by demonstrating microfilariae in peripheral blood smears, these have also been occasionally diagnosed on aspiration cytology of various organs. This paper reports the finding of microfilariae in material obtained from the testicular mass in an eighteen year old male by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology.
