Cysticercus CellulosAE.

Previous

Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the cysticercus cellulosÆ.

The presence of cysticerci in the skin and subcutaneous tissue gives rise to pea to hazelnut-sized, rounded, firm, movable tumors which, when developed, may remain unchanged for months. The parasites are disclosed by microscopic examination.

Most of the cases have been observed in Germany.
