Abstract:
Cysticercosus cellulosae is usually located in muscles, subcutaneous tissues, brain and eyes. The authors reported a rare case of bronchial cysticercosis in a 20-year-old man. The only clinical signs were hemoptysis. Bronchial fibroscopy allowed to have a visual field of the cysticercus lesion. This parasitological tumor was removed by surgical resection. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. A drug therapy by praziquantel completed the treatment.
