title: Cytomorphological spectrum of cysticercosis--a review of 132 cases.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of fine needle aspirates of 132 cases of cysticercosis presenting as palpable nodule is presented. In 98 cases, larval parts, detached hooklets and scolex established the diagnosis; in another 24 cases, the background inflammatory pattern was helpful in suggesting the diagnosis of a parasitic lesion.
