ABSTRACT
The cysticercus is the larval form of the pork tapeworm. Oral cavity involvement of cysticercosis is rare but frequently reported from developing countries. This report presents 3 cases of oral cysticercosis involving the tongue and buccal mucosa in isolation. All 3 patients were treated with surgical excision and had an uneventful postoperative course. A brief review of the PubMed English-language literature search is presented. Oral cavity involvement with cysticercosis presents a diagnostic dilemma. Management is primarily surgical and carries an excellent prognosis.
