ABSTRACT
Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease affecting the worldwide population. There is a large volume of data present in the literature for neurocysticercosis. The intramuscular involvement of cysticercosis is not very common with a few cases described in the literature. Knowledge about the clinical presentation and the radiological appearance of the intramuscular cysticercosis is important, especially in low resource settings. Here we describe a case of an asymptomatic 70-year-old male who presented to us for routine clinical examination and was found to have intramuscular cysticercosis. This case description would improve the understanding of the clinical presentation as well as the diagnosis and treatment of intramuscular cysticercosis.
