This article presents the case of a 19-year-old male @entity1 with @entity3993 in the tongue and the @entity149 . It also presents images of histological sections of the cysticercus parasite situated in the tongue muscles and CT and MRI images of cerebral clusters. @entity3993 is a disease caused by the hydatid of the porcine tapeworm (cysticercus). Cysticercus normally dwells in the organs of @entity1707 . Infection of @entity1 tissues is much more unusual and affliction of the oral cavity can be regarded as a rarity. In this case the @entity1 complained about a painless, clearly delineated induration in the anterior third of the left half of the tongue. Histological investigation resulted in the diagnosis of @entity3993 . The @entity1 was referred to an Institute for Tropical Medicine which confirmed the diagnosis serologically. CT and MR images revealed two additional lesions in the @entity149 . After treatment with anthelminthics these lesions in the @entity149 disappeared.

[ XXXX as a rare cause of a tumor of the tongue].
