Abstract :
Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease caused by Taenia solium. It is a major public health problem in developing
countries. Infection is acquired through ingestion of raw or undercooked meat containing the cysticercus. Man is the
intermediate host and pig is definitive host. Cases usually present with vague abdominal discomfort, indigestion and diarrhoea. Cysticerci
can be found anywhere in the body, but are most commonly detected in ain, eye,skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue. Diagnosis is made
by the demonstration of eggs or proglottids in faeces and definitive diagnosis is by biopsy of the lesion. We report an unusual case, which
presented with a sublingual mass. Diagnosis of cysticercosis was confirmed by histopathology.
