Oral cysticercosis.
A 35-year-old Indian male with nodules in the tongue, lower lip and subcutaneous tissues and convulsions of recent onset is presented. Surgical excision of the nodules confirmed the clinical diagnosis of cysticercosis and relieved the lingual discomfort. This is the 26th case of oral cysticercosis being reported.
