An Uncommon Presentation Of Cysticercosis Diagnosed On Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology With Brief Review Of Literature
Keywords:
Cysticercosis, FNAC, subcutaneous, Taenia solium
Abstract
Cysticercosis in human is caused by infection with the larval stage of Taenia solium. Oro-facial involvement of cysticercosis is not commonly reported. We present an uncommon case of subcutaneous cysticercosis diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) presenting as a solitary facial nodule in a young male.
