Abstract：
Filariasis is a major public health concern in tropical and subtropical countries like India with Wuchereria bancrofti accounting for 90% of lymphatic filariasis. Rarely observed are extra lymphatic manifestations caused by interaction of immune system with microfilaria and their diffusible products. Among various organs involved, splenic involvement is a rare extra lymphatic manifestation of filariasis and can masquerade clinicoradiologically as metastasis when associated with a known malignancy or as a primary malignancy like lymphoma. Hereby, we present an unusual case of coincidence of splenic filariasis with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm in a 20-year-old woman associated with peripheral blood eosinophilia.
摘要：
丝虫病是印度等热带和亚热带国家的主要公共卫生问题，Wuchereriabancrofti占淋巴丝虫病的90％。很少观察到由免疫系统与微丝菌及其扩散产物相互作用引起的额外淋巴表现。在涉及的各种器官中，脾受累是丝虫病的一种罕见的额外淋巴表现，当与已知的恶性肿瘤或淋巴瘤等原发性恶性肿瘤相关时，可在临床上伪装为转移。特此,我们报道了一例罕见的脾丝虫病合并胰腺实性假乳头状上皮性肿瘤的病例,该病例发生在一名20岁女性患者中,并伴有外周血嗜酸性粒细胞增多.
