In an endemic country like India, the occurrence of filariasis is very common, especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. We present a case of a 50-year-old male with scrotal swelling. The patient had a history of trauma before a month. The sonography report suggested the possibility of hematocele. During histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as epididymo-orchitis caused by an adult filarial worm (Wuchereria bancrofti). From this, it can be concluded that the possibility of parasitic infestation as a differential diagnosis should be kept in mind when encountering cases of hydrocele, hematocele, or epididymo-orchitis.
