Submental Cysticercosis: An Uncommon Site For A Common Infection
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 6
Abstract
Cysticercosis is a condition which occurs when humans are infested by larvae of Taenia solium. It is a cause of increasing health burden in developing countries. Solitary extraneural cysticercosis may mimic soft tissue lesion; hence it is important to consider cysticercosis as a differential diagnosis during evaluation of such lesions. Here we present a case of submental cysticercosis in a young male child along with a brief review of literature.
