At an autopsy of a Pomeranian, bred in Kagoshima city, the authors found a kind of novel worms in the lungs. The worms were white-colored, filament-shaped and had not been reported in Japan. The males measured 2.5〜2.7 mm in length, while the females mesured 6.8〜7.5 mm. Morphological characters as well as the measurement of each part of the worms were compared with those of the well-known Genus Filaroides. In the result, the worm was identified as Filaroides milksi, Whitlock, 1956. Macroscopically numerous tiny white nodules were found in the lungs. These nodules were histopathologically found to be a kind of granulation tissues containing dead adult worms. Besides, living worms were mostly found in alveoli, and a few of them were seen in bronchioles. There were no changes due to the living worms, excepting hyperemia of the lung.
