Isolated Solitary Intramuscular Cysticercosis involving lateral chest wall: An uncommon presentation

Cysticercosis is a Parasitic disease caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. This disease is a major health concern especially in developing world including India but its incidence is underestimated. Not too many cases of isolated intramuscular cysticercosis have been reported in pediatric population. Here we report a case of 4 years old female child presented with swelling over left lower chest over 3-4 months, diagnosed with intramuscular cysticercosis by ultrasonography.
