Cysticercosis of the oral cavity: an often misdiagnosed entity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2007
Abstract
We present a case report of a single lesion of cysticercosis cellulosae, a parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), presenting as a soft tissue swelling of the lower lip. We stress the importance of knowledge about oral manifestations of parasitic infections.
