  • Title: [Subcutaneous cysticercosis].
    Author: Del Giudice P, Bernard E, Perrin C, Marty P, Le Fichoux Y, Ortonne JP, Michiels JF, Dellamonica P.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1996; 123(8):474-7. PubMed ID: 9033719.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The case of a patient originated from Angola who presented subcutaneous and neurologic cysticercosis is reported. OBSERVATION: The patient was referred for the etiological diagnosis of recurrent seizures. The diagnosis was made by histologic examination of a subcutaneous lesion. COMMENTS: We review the clinical characteristics of subcutaneous cysticercosis. The association of subcutaneous nodules and signs of central nervous involvement occurring in a patient originating from an area where cysticercosis is endemic, must be suspected of cysticercosis.
