Abstract
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by Taenia solium, and occurs worldwide but is endemic to countries in Central and South America, Africa and various parts of Asia. Outside of endemic areas, common presentations included central nervous system infections and rarely muscle infections. We present a case report of a 32-year-old man presenting with a soft tissue lesion of his left trapezius muscle. The lesion was imaged with MRI and was suspected to be a sarcoma. The biopsy was performed, revealing the unusual finding of a parasitic organism, in keeping with Taenia solium.
