Solitary cysticercosis of the biceps brachii in a vegetarian: a rare and unusual pseudotumor.

Category Primary study
JournalSkeletal radiology
Year 2003
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.
