Abstract
Background:
Wuchereria bancrofti has been found in almost every tissue except the liver.
Case:
Microfilariae were found in a hemangioma of the liver on fine needle aspiration in a 40-year-old female with pyrexia associated with hepatomegaly and a peripheral blood smear negative for microfilariae.
Conclusion:
Absence of microfilariae in a peripheral blood smear does not exclude filarial infection.
