Abstract
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, the larval stage of Taenia Solium. It is present world-wide, but more prevalent in developing regions like South America, Africa, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe due to poor environmental sanitation. The common sites are skeletal muscle, subcutaneous tissue, brain and eye. Breast is an uncommon site and diagnosis is usually incidental. Only a few cases have been reported, so far. Several diagnostic tools such as radiologic imaging, serology and immunologic detection are being used but the gold standard remains the demonstration of the parasitic larva by FNAC or histopathology.
 Here , we report an unusual case of cysticercosis in breast that was diagnosed o by Fine needle aspiration cytology.
