Isolated cysticercosis of internal oblique muscle: a rare cause of abdominal wall pseudotumor.
Pak J Radiol Jan ;21(4):179-81.

Isolated cysticercosis of muscle is very rare and may mimic a tumour due to its non-specific clinical presentation. We report a case of 25 year old female presenting with gradually enlarging lump in abdominal wall. Clinically the diagnosis of abdominal wall desmoids was strongly considered. MRI and ultrasound, however demonstrated fusiform enlargement of muscle with a small cystic lesion in it. High resolution ultrasound revealed an echogenic scolex, a characteristic feature of cysticercosis and the patient had excellent clinical response to albendazole.
