Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection. It can involve any tissue in the body, the brain being the most common site. Intramuscular cysticercosis is rare, and few cases have been reported. Here, we are reporting a case of incidental finding of intramuscular cysticercosis in a 22-year-old male having a purely vegetarian diet presented with pain, swelling, and tingling sensation in the forearm without any other systemic involvement after taking Albendazole for unrelated reasons. Diagnosis of intramuscular cysticercosis remains a challenge and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intramuscular swelling, especially in endemic areas.
囊尾蚴病是一种寄生虫感染。它可累及身体的任何组织，其中脑部是最常见的部位。肌肉内囊尾蚴病较为罕见，仅有少数病例报道。在此，我们报告一例22岁纯素食男性因无关原因服用阿苯达唑后，偶然发现肌肉内囊尾蚴病的病例，该患者出现前臂疼痛、肿胀和刺痛感，无任何其他全身受累表现。肌肉内囊尾蚴病的诊断仍然是一项挑战，在肌肉肿胀的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑，尤其是在流行地区。
