  • Title: Solitary cysticercosis of the biceps brachii in a vegetarian: a rare and unusual pseudotumor.
    Author: Abdelwahab IF, Klein MJ, Hermann G, Abdul-Quader M.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2003 Jul; 32(7):424-8. PubMed ID: 12730733.
    Abstract:
    We report a 40-year-old man with cysticercosis presenting as a solitary tumor in the biceps brachii muscle. Physical examination revealed an intramuscular mass and magnetic resonance imaging suggested a cyst. The histologic diagnosis was a cysticercus. Such solitary presentation of muscular cysticercosis is extremely rare with only a handful of sporadic reports in the literature.
