Implication

Case report illustrates surgical excision and histological analysis for Dirofilaria repens infestation in a 64-year-old male, suggesting the importance of digitalized images in accurate diagnosis.

Key Points

Dirofilariosis was diagnosed in a 64-year-old male with a subcutaneous nodule using integrated imaging and analysis.
Histological analysis revealed eosinophils and the presence of female Dirofilaria repens in the excised tissue specimen.
Integrated evaluation of CT, MRI, and histological slides facilitated timely diagnosis and management of this rare zoonosis.
Increased awareness of Dirofilaria repens is necessary due to rising incidence and potential complications in uncommon localizations.
