Abstract
We present a case of cysticercosis with cutaneous subcutaneous muscular and cerebral involvement. The patient, a 34 years old man, developed over ten years multiple calcified cysts diffusely on the body. Analysis of a calcified cyst revealed the presence of cysticercus. A therapy with praziquantel proved successful.
