Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium, which very rarely manifests in the maxillofacial region. It usually presents as a painless swelling. The most common site for maxillofacial cysticercosis are the tongue and lips. When humans accidently ingest the eggs of Taenia solium, they become the intermediate host, a role which is typically played by pig. This paper describes two cases of cysticercosis cellulosae, presenting as non-tender swelling of left buccal mucosa and left temporalis region respectively. Case reports available on PubMed were searched and a review was performed. Excision of cystic lesion was the treatment modality in majority of published reports. It is emphasised that cysticercosis should be considered in differential diagnosis of solitary painless swellings of oral and maxillofacial region, especially in patients from an endemic region.
囊尾蚴病是由猪带绦虫的幼虫引起的寄生虫感染，极少见发生于颌面区域。它通常表现为无痛性肿胀。颌面囊尾蚴病最常见的部位是舌和唇。当人意外摄入猪带绦虫的虫卵时，就会成为中间宿主，通常由猪来扮演这一角色。本文描述了两例囊尾蚴病纤维素，分别表现为左侧颊黏膜和左侧颞区无触痛性肿胀。在 PubMed 上检索了病例报告并进行了回顾。大多数已发表的报告中，囊状病变的切除是主要的治疗方式。需要强调的是，对于口腔颌面区域单发无痛性肿胀，应考虑囊尾蚴病作为鉴别诊断，尤其是来自流行地区的患者。
