title: Sonographic appearances in cysticercosis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the sonographic appearances of cysticercosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sonography was performed with both convex and linear array transducers in 4 patients with different symptoms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 2 patients, an intramuscular fluid collection was seen with a cysticercus cyst in it. In 1 patient, an irregular cyst with a small fluid collection on 1 side was seen. In the last patient, multiple elliptical millet seed-shaped calcifications were seen in the liver, mesentery, and retroperitoneal fat.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Four different sonographic appearances of soft tissue cysticercosis are described.
