    (2014-03) Khandpur, Sujay; Kothiwala, Sunil Kumar; Basnet, Binamra; Nangia, Rattan; Venkatesh, H A; Sharma, Raju
    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.

    Pseudotumoral hepatic tuberculosis with pericardial abscess.
    (2010-10) Mutreja, Deepti; Nangia, Rattan; Mishra, Pratibha
    We report the postmortem findings in a 28-year-old immunocompetent male patient, a rare case of tuberculous liver abscesses with concomitant pericardial abscess in the absence of pleuropulmonary or splenic involvement, who continued to be a diagnostic dilemma. This case report illustrates the difficulty in reaching the correct diagnosis in case of hepatic masses, which are most often confused with carcinoma of the liver, primary or metastatic and, hence, have been aptly referred to as pseudotumoral hepatic tuberculosis in the past.
