Abstract
The masseter muscle cysticercosis is a rare soft tissue entity. Among so many causes of swelling of face this entity is very rare and making diagnosis difficult. Infestation of larvae of Taenia solium (tapeworm) causes cysticercosis in humans. Here, we have reported a case of cysticecosis inside masseter muscle, presenting with recurrent painful swelling of face. Diagnosis was confirmed after high resolution ultrasonography (HRUSG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and it was managed conservatively.
