An 86-year-old woman with pharyngeal cysticercosis presented to Victoria Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa in February 2007 with active neurocysticercosis and subcutaneous tissue involvement. Diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological and histopathological grounds. The patient was successfully managed with surgical excision of the oropharyngeal cyst and subsequent chemotherapy with albendazole. This was a rare case of pharyngeal cysticercosis and illustrates that Taenia solium can invade the upper aerodigestive tract. The occurrence of cysticercosis in pharyngeal tissue adds a new dimension to the manifestation of this disease and should alert to more severe generalised disease.
2007年2月，一名86岁患有咽囊尾蚴病的女性因活动性神经囊尾蚴病和皮下组织受累前往南非开普敦的维多利亚医院就诊。诊断基于临床、影像学和组织病理学依据。患者通过手术切除口咽囊肿并随后使用阿苯达唑进行化疗，治疗成功。这是一例罕见的咽囊尾蚴病病例，表明猪带绦虫可侵入上消化道。咽组织中囊尾蚴病的发生为该疾病的表现增添了新的层面，应警惕更严重的全身性疾病。
