Dirofilariasis is a mosquito-borne zoonosis caused by several species of the genus Dirofilaria. This disease can manifest as nodular lesions in subcutaneous tissues, various structures of the eye, the lungs and/or visceral organs. The Dirofilaria species and the vectors responsible for transmitting infection differ among various geographical regions.

Human dirofilariasis by nematode worm Dirofilariarepens is an uncommon zoonotic infection presenting most commonly as subcutaneous nodules after mosquito bites. Although the subcutaneous nodules can occur anywhere in the body, orbital and periorbital locations are most commonly involved. Imaging makes the cornerstone of diagnosis in cases with strong clinical suspicion since the nodular subcutaneous swelling has many clinical differentials.

An 18-year-old male patient from Ukraine, living in Germany for 2 years, presented with a painless subcutaneous swelling on the left cheek that had been present for several months. Finally, the diagnosis of subcutaneous dirofilariasis caused by was confirmed by 12S rRNA gene PCR and sequencing from tissue by nematode-specific PCRs followed by sequencing after surgical resection of the lesion. Microfilaremia was ruled out and no further treatment was required.
