Abstract
Cysticercosis, especially neurocysticercosis, is a major public health problem in India. We
report an unusual case of disseminated cysticercosis with extensive infi ltration of the skin,
central nervous system, skeletal muscles, eye, lung, and heart. A patient with extensive
cutaneous cysticercosis must be thoroughly investigated for widespread internal organ
involvement.
