title: Cysticercosis of the tongue.
abstract: A 10-year-old Hindu boy had a gradually increasing swelling on the tongue, which was excised and diagnosed histopathologically as a case of cysticercosis. Involvement of the tongue as an isolated lesion has prompted us to present this case. A review on the subject is discussed.
