Abstract :
A 30-year-old woman presented with a palpable subcutaneous nodule
in the areolar region of the left breast. Sonomammographic examination
revealed 2 cystic lesions showing typical “filarial dance” as vigorous
twirling movement of multiple curvilinear echoes with mixed red blue
color Doppler signals that was non-rhythmic, nonpulsatile, and the
characteristic pulse Doppler trace due to irregular worm movement. Real
time sonographic demonstration of these typical features is
pathognomonic for filariasis, especially in endemic areas and treatment
should be initiated without delay on the basis of ultrasound.
