Cysticercosis presented with nodules diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology

Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease caused by the larval form of the cestode worm Taenia solium. It is commonly manifested as subcutaneous, intramuscular, eye, or brain nodules. We report two cases in an 8-year-old male child who presented with a cheek nodule, and another in a 25-year-old man who presented with a flank swelling. Both cases were diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology. The use of fine-needle aspiration cytology highlights the cytomorphological diagnosis of cysticercosis in subcutaneous and intramuscular nodules.
