We report a case of a 60-year-old man who had a subcutaneous nodule on his left upper eyelid. The patient had multiple mosquito bites during work trips to Ukraine. Histopathological examination suggested infestation of Dirofilaria repens in the nodule isolated during surgery. Ophthalmologists should be aware of unusual presentations of parasitic infections in the ocular adnexa.
We present the case of a 60-year-old man who was diagnosed with a subcutaneous nodule on the upper eyelid of his left eye. The patient reported multiple mosquito bites during numerous work trips to Ukraine. Histopathological examination of the nodule isolated during surgery suggested Dirofilaria repens infestation. The infection was brought to Poland from the territory of Ukraine. Ophthalmologists must be aware of uncommon presentations of parasitic infestations when they consider infections of the ocular adnexa.
