The CNS, however, is a rare site for the isolation of microfilariae of <jats:italic>Wuchereria bancrofti.<\/jats:italic> To the best of our knowledge, the presence of microfilariae of <jats:italic>W. bancrofti<\/jats:italic> in tumor cyst fluids or cerebrospinal fluid has not been reported to date. We report three cases in which microfilariae were identified in the cyst fluid of tumors of the brain. Cyst fluid aspirated from space\u2010occupying lesions in the thalamus and C6\u2013D1 spinal segments in a 46\u2010yr\u2010old man and a 35\u2010yr\u2010old man, respectively, showed numerous microfilariae of <jats:italic>W. bancrofti,<\/jats:italic> along with fragments of tumor suggestive of glioma. In the third case, in a 12\u2010yr\u2010old boy, the fluid from the space\u2010occupying lesion in the third ventricle showed microfilariae in a necrotic dirty background with a few squames and cholesteral crystals. Histopathologic examination of the tumor showed an anaplastic astrocytoma and a low\u2010grade astrocytoma in the first two cases, respectively, and a craniopharyngioma in the third case. No microfilariae were identified on the histology sections. Diagn.
