title: [Lung findings in filariasis].
abstract: A solitary intrapulmonary mass, found accidentally, demands further investigations to assure the diagnosis. Even if we are unable to give an exact diagnosis, we should try to determine the character of the lesion; often the clinical findings can be helpful. If this is not the case, further possibilities to arrive at the correct diagnosis should be indicated.
