[Multiple hydatid cysts and generalized cysticercosis]

A 64 year old male presented with parotid gland swelling and neck and pulmonary nodules. Contrast and scintigraphic studies ruled out a primary process of the gland. Other nodules were detected in the abdomen and upper limbs. Biopsy of one of these showed C cellulosae and a positive serologic test followed. On the other hand echographic findings support the diagnosis of lung hydatid disease.
