The dog heartworm Dirofilaria immitis has been diagnosed by thoracotomy as the etiology of neoplastic-appearing nodules in two patients in the Peoria, Illinois area. This brings the total number of reported cases of human pulmonary dirofilariasis to approximately 81 in the United States. The major concern of this benign disease is that in making the diagnosis the patients undergo the risk of surgery because of the presumed preoperative diagnosis of cancer. Greater awareness of this disease is needed as the geographic distribution of human pulmonary dirofilariasis expands in this country.
