Dr. Harish S G, Dr. Sharadha M. S, Dr. Krishna M C, Dr. Shruthi

Abstract :

 Filariasis is a parasitic infestation caused by the nematode Wuchereria bancrofti. It is a major public 

health problem and socio–economical problem in tropical and sub–tropical countries. The clinical manifestations of filariasis depend upon the stage in the course of infection in the human host and the worm load. It is a rarity 
to document filarial worms in histopathology from the epididymus. We present a case of epididymal filariasis where 
the patient had presented to us with pain in the right scrotum of 20 days duration.
