Abstract

Human taeniasis, a common tropical disease, is a zoonotic condition resulting from infection with the adult stages of Taenia solium. Animals are the primary host where the parasite lives but humans can also be infected after consuming contaminated food and water. We report a case of a vegetarian homemaker with disseminated cysticercosis, who reported to us with a sub-scapular swelling.
