  • Title: Mylohyoid cysticercosis: a rare submandibular mass.
    Author: Virk RS, Panda N, Ghosh S.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2009 Nov; 88(11):1218-20. PubMed ID: 19924665.
    Abstract:
    Cysticercosis is endemic in developing countries such as India. This infection is acquired via ingestion of cysticerci, the larvae of the Taenia solium (tapeworm, or cestode), in uncooked/undercooked pork or fecally contaminated food or water. Although skeletal muscle commonly harbors the cysticerci, we report a case in which they had infested the mylohyoid muscle in the floor of mouth, a site that has not been mentioned previously in the literature.
