Sažetak
Human dirofilariosis is very rare in Croatia. We present two cases that manifested in painless subcutaneous nodules lasting for several months. The first patient was a 44-year-old housewife from rural environment. The second patient was a 66-year-old male from Zagreb that kept no domestic animals, and did not reside outside Croatia. In both cases subcutaneous nodules were surgically removed and histological analysis was performed, after which both patients were cured. The authors stress the importance of dirofilariosis in differential diagnostics of subcutaneous nodules.
