title: [Human subcutaneous dirofilariasis: 2 new cases in northern Italy].
abstract: Two new cases of human subcutaneous dirofilariasis in Northern Italy are described. The first one occurred in a 56 year-old man living in Venezia Lido and was localised in the frontal region; the second one in a 52 year-old woman living in Modena and was localised in the sacrococcygeal region. Both lesions were associated with Dirofilaria repens. In the same geographical areas other cases of this zoonosis had occurred in the past.
