ABSTRACT
Cysticercosis is caused by Cysticercus Cellulosae, which is the larval stage of a tapeworm, Taenia Solium in humans. This larva commonly affects the central nervous system, but it can involve eyes, muscles, lungs, liver, subcutaneous tissues and heart with variable clinical manifestations. Here we report a rare case of cutaneous Cysticercosis of the left scapular region without any associated neurological or eye involvement in a 50 year old male patient. He was managed with albendazole and steroids with complete recovery.
