Filariasis, a tropical parasite infection, caused by thread - like nematode, which is a common problem in the Indian sub-continent. Occurance of filariasis with Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) is unusual finding. Very few cases have been documented in literature so far. Here we report bancroftian filariasis in a male patient in association with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
