“…Diagnosis of cysticercosis should be kept in mind when examining solitary lesions of the oral cavity. About 45 cases of cysticercosis of oral cavity and other adjacent areas have been recorded in the literature [1,7–24] but no large series of paediatric cases involving the tongue or buccal mucosa appear to have been reported. Already one previous case report of cysticercosis of tongue and buccal mucosa appeared as early as 1965 [27].…”

“…Tongue and masseter muscle are the most common sites for cysticercosis to develop in cattle and swine [7], whereas in man these sites are rarely involved. Previous involvement of these sites has rarely been reported [1,7–24] and there are no estimates of prevalence of cysticercosis in the peri‐oral region. Diagnosis of cysticercosis was not made preoperatively in any of the published case reports, rather it was made post‐operatively through histopatho‐logical examination of excised specimens or was suspected following surgery with the identification of the cyst.…”

This paper reports on five cases of cysticercosis of tongue and buccal mucosa, diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), affecting child patients who presented between January 1994 and October 1997. Four cases presented with gradually increasing nodular swelling of the dorsum of tongue and in the fifth case the swelling was situated on the buccal mucosa of the left side. A clinical diagnosis of cysticercosis was not entertained in any of these patients, who each presented with a solitary lesion; instead, it was considered to be a benign cyst or benign tumour of salivary gland or mesenchymal tissue, before FNAC diagnosis. These lesions of the oral cavity may present first to a dentist and, in endemic areas, cysticercosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of solitary nodular lesions of the oral cavity, particularly in young individuals.

“…If there are nodules on the tongue, then differential diagnosis will be considered as pyogenic granuloma, fibroma, rhabdomyoma, or granular cell myoblastoma. 14 The final diagnosis of cysticercosis is dependent on histologic examination, but before that radiologic imaging and laboratory tests can be used as initial imaging tools. 15 Poor personal and household hygiene, frequent consumption of pork, and history of passing tapeworm proglotids in feces are risk factors for human cysticercosis.…”

Introduction Cysticercosis is a condition that occurs when humans are infested by the larvae of Taenia solium, acting as an intermediate host instead of definitive occurrence in neural and extra-neural forms. The latter commonly involves subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles, and eyes. Aims and objectives Oral cysticercosis is a rare event, and it represents great difficulty for clinical diagnosis. In present report we report a case of cysticercosis in the right submandibular region where it presented as a large, soft cystic swelling and tried to explain the clinical sign & symptom of oral cysticercosis. We emphasize on the importance of ultrasonographic and routine microscopic examinations for the diagnosis of even apparently innocuous lesions in submandibular regions. Results This is a very rare case of oral cysticercosis showing neck swelling extended from the lower border of the mandible to the thyroid cartilage. The diagnosis was made by sonography and confirmed by gross and microscopic examination of cysticercosis cellulosae. In ultrasonography, there was well-defined cystic lesion with hyperechoic eccentric tiny nodules. How to cite this article Chandak RM, Chandak MG, Rawlani SM.
