[Invasive cysticercosis due to Taenia crassiceps in an AIDS patient]. / Cysticercose envahissante à Taenia crassiceps chez un patient atteint de sida.

A first case is reported from France of a subcutaneous and muscular tissues invasion by proliferative larval forms of Taenia crassiceps in an AIDS-patient with severe immunodeficiency. These larvae usually develop in rodents whereas the adult form of the cestode is commonly found in foxes. Authors emphasize the differential diagnosis from other human subcutaneous metacestodoses such as T. solium cysticercosis, cenurosis and hydatidosis. The proliferative aspect of the larvae, the recurrence of lesions after surgical removal and the possible invasion of other tissues are elements of a poor prognosis.

Subcutaneous Taenia crassiceps cysticercosis in a dog.

Taenia crassiceps larvae, typically found in rodents, were recovered from fluctuant subcutaneous cystic lesions in a dog. Differential diagnosis included Taenia crassiceps cysticercosis, other metacestode infections, and pseudotumoral skin diseases.
