Abstract
Subcutaneous Human Dirofi lariasis is an uncommon zoonotic infection caused by Dirofi lariarepens. The reports
of this infection in humans in India are limited, although increasingly being reported worldwide. We report a case
of Dirofi lariasis with subcutaneous presentation from the state of Meghalaya and to emphasize the importance of
considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with subcutaneous nodules.
