Abstract:
Cysticercosis is a common infection in tropical countries with occasional uncommon manifestations. We present the case of a 34 year old immunocompetent man who presented with multiple lesions in a short span of time, some of which were atypical in location viz submandibular region and masseter, aside from abdominal wall. Role of ultrasound, fine needle aspiration cytology and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis is discussed. Cysticercosis is a common disease with occasionally unexpected manifestations and hence must be considered in differential diagnoses of swellings in/around head and neck. There should be a low threshold for obtaining ultrasound and fine needle aspiration cytology in such swellings.
摘要:
囊虫病是热带国家的常见感染,偶尔有罕见表现。我们介绍了一个34岁的有免疫能力的人,他在短时间内出现了多个病变,其中一些在下颌下区和咬肌位置不典型,除了腹壁。超声的作用,讨论了细针穿刺细胞学和磁共振成像在诊断中的应用。囊虫病是一种常见疾病,偶尔会有意想不到的表现,因此在头颈部肿胀/周围的鉴别诊断中必须考虑。在此类肿胀中获得超声和细针抽吸细胞学的阈值应该很低。
