| description | Cysticercosis, a helminthic disease commonly seen in India, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Southern Africa, results from extraintestinal
encystation of the larval form of Taenia solium. It is a condition in which man acts as intermediate host instead of definitive host. The
most frequent sites of cysticercosis are subcutaneous layers, brain, muscles, heart, liver, lungs, and peritoneum. Oral cysticercosis is
considered rare and cause cystic swellings or nodules in the mouth and a precise clinical diagnosis is not usually established. Here, we
report a case of oral cysticercosis in a 32-year-old female occurring in the mentalis muscle presenting as asymptomatic nodule. |
