Cysticercosis is endemic in developing countries such as India. This infection is acquired via ingestion of cysticerci, the larvae of the Taenia solium (tapeworm, or cestode), in uncooked/undercooked pork or fecally contaminated food or water. Although skeletal muscle commonly harbors the cysticerci, we report a case in which they had infested the mylohyoid muscle in the floor of mouth, a site that has not been mentioned previously in the literature.
囊尾蚴病在印度等发展中国家呈地方性流行。这种感染是通过摄入猪带绦虫（绦虫，或 cestode）的幼虫囊尾蚴而获得的，这些幼虫存在于未煮熟/煮得不够熟的猪肉或受粪便污染的食物或水中。虽然骨骼肌通常是囊尾蚴的寄生部位，但我们报告了一例囊尾蚴寄生在口腔底部颏舌骨肌的病例，该部位在文献中此前未被提及。
