Abstract
Filariasis is caused by nematode parasites of the order Filariae, namely Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. Splenic involvement can occur in
extralymphatic or Meyers Kouwenar syndrome. Gross specimen can show nodules or diffuse enlargement. Microscopy showed cylindrical
microlariae with eosinophilic microabscesses.
