RESUMO

Cysticercosis is a common disease in developing countries caused by larvae of the parasite Taenia solium. T. solium which is also termed as the pork tapeworm or armed tapeworm is distributed all over the world. Th is parasite completes its life cycle in man and pig. Man harbors the adult worm and serves as the defi nitive host whereas pig harbors the larvae (cysticerci) and serves as the intermediate host. Th e infection with cysticerci commonly involves brain, muscle, heart, liver, lungs and peritoneum. Cysticercosis involving the oral cavity is rare. We report here a case of cysticercosis of lower left vestibule, which presented as an asymptomatic solitary nodule in 22-year-old female.
