title: Disseminated cysticercosis with pulmonary involvement.
abstract: Cysticercosis is an important public health problem in developing countries. The central nervous system is the major site of involvement, although striated muscles and subcutaneous tissue are frequently involved in the disseminated form of disease. We describe a recent case in which pulmonary nodules due to cysticercosis were detected on CT and MRI.
