DISSEMINATED CYSTICERCOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 14
Abstract
Cysticercosis is a systemic illness caused by dissemination of the larval form of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. Cysticerci may be found in almost any tissue. The most frequently reported locations are skin, skeletal muscle, heart, eye, and the central nervous system .[1] FNAC and Biopsy of these lesions can show the larval structures and are diagnostic of cysticercosis. Identification of the parasitic cells give a important clue to the diagnosis of cysticercosis. We present this case of disseminated cysticercosis with ultrasonographic, cytology and histopathological correlation.
