Abstract:
Dirofilariasis is a rare infection caused by a vector-borne nematode that can be accidentally transmitted to humans. We report a case of a 11-year-old child with a painless scrotal cyst caused by Dirofilaria repens, initially suspected by ultrasound scan and then confirmed by histopathologic examination.
