Pulmonary cysticercosis is an extremely rare manifestation of a rather common disease which occurs primarily in developing countries. A patient suffering from a very heavy infestation of Taenia solium larvae is described. Histological examination of biopsy specimens of several of the numerous subcutaneous nodules confirmed the diagnosis. All the lesions, including the pulmonary nodules, regressed rapidly after appropriate treatment.
