We report a Dirofilaria repens nematode infection in a woman in Italy who sought care for a fast-creeping lesion within her subcutaneous facial tissue. Dirofilariosis should be included in differential diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules or creeping lesions. This case highlights the need for controlling canine dirofilarioses to mitigate zoonotic risk.
