Isolated Cysticercosis of the Peroneous Longus Muscle: A Rare Pseudotumour
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Human cysticercosis is endemic in the developing countries caused by the larvae of pork tapeworm Taenia solium. This infestation commonly involves the central nervous system, eyes, subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Isolated muscular cysticercosis is very rare and often difficult to diagnose. We present a rare case of isolated muscular cysticercosis involving the peroneous longus muscle in a 45 year old female. In endemic regions, it must be kept as a differential diagnosis in cases presenting with non specific symptoms. Adequate diagnosis, proper medications and complete surgical excision are the recommended treatment modalities. Keywords: Isolated, Cysticercosis, Peroneous longus
