Abstract EN
Multiple observations suggest that certain parasitic infections can be oncogenic.
Among these, neurocysticercosis is associated with increased risk for gliomas and hematologic malignancies.
We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with colocalization of a metazoan parasite, possibly cysticercosis, and a WHO grade IV neuroepithelial tumor with exclusively neuronal differentiation by immunohistochemical stains (immunopositive for synaptophysin, neurofilament protein, and Neu-N and not for GFAP, vimentin, or S100).
The colocalization and temporal relationship of these two entities suggest a causal relationship.
