Abstract

Cysticercosis of the anterior abdominal wall without parasitosis of central nervous system is extremely rare and mimics as a tumor which leads to diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In such cases histopathological examination plays an important role in diagnosis.

This report contributes to the limited literature on cysticercosis of the anterior abdominal wall, aiming to increase awareness and knowledge about this in frequency clinical entity.
