Abstract EN
Cysticercosis, caused by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of Taenia solium, is potentially a dangerous systemic disease with variable clinical manifestations.
The disease most commonly involves subcutaneous and muscle tissues, followed by the eye and brain.
Cysticercosis can be diagnosed by various radiologic means or by serology, both of which, however, are not definitive.
Biopsy and histologic examination containing the cysticerci is the most definitive method of diagnosis.
We report a case of cysticercosis in a 27-year-old male patient, who presented with a subcutaneous swelling in the back which was diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
