title: Cysticercotic cyst involving the pleura. An unusual case of an abnormal chest roentgenogram.
abstract: We describe a case of human cysticercosis appearing as an abnormal chest roentgenogram. The patient had a long history of ingestion of undercooked pork. The diagnosis was entertained only after surgical resection, but the history obtained from this patient gave an important clue toward a parasitic infestation.
