Abstract
Filariasis is a major public health disease in India especially at coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh, India. Microfilaria is some time seen as an incidental finding during fine needle aspiration cytology smear (FNAC). But it is very rare to find microfilaria in cytological smears of parotid lesions. This is unique finding not reported till to date at our institute. Microfilaria is seen mainly in peripheral blood smear. Wuchereria bancrofti is the most common parasite which causes lymphatic filariasis in India. Here we reported a case in which microfilaria is seen in cytological smears of parotid lesion, first time at our institute of Gandhi Medical College, Telangana, India.
