Isolated cysticercosis of anterior abdominal wall without parasitosis of central nervous system is very rare and may mimic a tumor leading to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Histopathological examination plays an important role in making a definitive diagnosis. Here we report a case of a 13-year old Muslim girl presenting with swelling and pain in left lower abdomen which was clinically diagnosed as lipoma. On histopathological examination cysticercus with surrounding inflammation was seen. Since cysticercosis is a preventable disease, early and accurate diagnosis is necessary for the reduction of disease burden in the endemic areas.
孤立性腹壁囊尾蚴病而无中枢神经系统寄生虫感染非常罕见,可能酷似肿瘤,导致诊断和治疗困境。组织病理学检查在明确诊断中起重要作用。在此,我们报告一例13岁穆斯林女孩,表现为左下腹肿胀和疼痛,临床诊断为脂肪瘤。组织病理学检查发现有囊尾蚴及周围炎症。由于囊尾蚴病是一种可预防的疾病,早期准确诊断对于减轻流行地区的疾病负担很有必要。
