Abstract

Breast cysticercosis is difficult to diagnose as the clinical manifestations are non-specific. We report a case of an isolated cysticercosis of the breast presenting as a breast lump which was diagnosed based on the clinical and ultrasonographic findings. This entity although rare should be kept in the differential diagnosis of breast lumps, especially in endemic areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
