Abstract :

 Cysticercosis, an infection with the larval form of pork tape worm, Taenia solium, commonly presents with multiple muscular cysts or CNS involvement. In the developing world, it is a major health concern. An isolated soft tissue cysticercosis of the trunk is uncommon and may be difficult to diagnose. Traditional treatment is surgical excision and a course of deworming agents. Here we report two unusual cases who presented with abdominal wall swelling without central nervous system or ophthalmic involvement.
