细针抽吸细胞技术用于诊断寄生虫感染疾病并不常见。1987年Jayaram曾用此技术从4例有附睾结节的病例中分离出微丝蚴。作者报道一例用细针抽吸细胞技术从腹股沟肿胀处分离班氏丝虫微丝蚴的病例。患者男性,30岁,主诉阴囊肿胀3个月,左腹股沟肿胀处疼痛15天,无外伤和发热 Fine needle aspiration cytology is not commonly used to diagnose parasitic infections. In 1987 Jayaram used this technique to isolate microfilariae from four cases of epididymal nodules. The authors report a case of fine bandworm filarial microfilaria isolated from the groin swelling using a fine-needle aspiration cell technique. Male patient, 30 years old, complained of swelling of the scrotum for 3 months, pain in the left inguinal swelling at 15 days without trauma and fever
