Scapular swelling: "subcutaneous cysticercosis unveiled"-a case report.
J Med Case Rep

Department of General Medicine, INHS Asvini, Mumbai, India.
Background: Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval stages of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, predominantly affects cerebral and ocular tissues. The subcutaneous manifestation of this disease is a relatively uncommon clinical occurrence. Previously very few or no cases of cysticercosis presenting as subcutaneous solitary painful swelling have been reported in the literature.

Article Synopsis
- * Pathological tests revealed numerous parasite eggs, leading to a clear diagnosis of schistosomiasis haematobia, while another student at the same school was found to have schistosomiasis mansoni through various tests.
- * The authors emphasize the need for better health education and monitoring of international students, along with improved diagnostic training for healthcare professionals to reduce risks of misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Taenia asiatica, utilizing pigs as an intermediate host, degenerates and/or calcifies within a few months after infection in pigs, whereas Taenia solium, also using pigs as an intermediate host, can develop into a mature metacestode within a couple of months and can survive for prolong periods in pigs. This raises the question of whether pigs are suitable intermediate hosts for T. asiatica.

Introduction: Calcifications are the end stage of many parenchymal brain cysticerci and may occur either spontaneously or as the result of treatment with cysticidal drugs. These lesions, traditionally considered inert and asymptomatic, have been associated with several complications that seem to be mostly related to brain damage and inflammation ensuing as the result of the exposure of the host's immune system to parasitic antigens trapped within calcifications.
Areas Covered: This review, based on the search of different electronic databases up to May 2024, focuses on the reported correlates and complications of calcified cysticerci (chronic headaches, seizures/epilepsy, hippocampal atrophy/sclerosis, gliomas), and the different interventions developed for their prevention and treatment.
