CASE PRESENTATION: an atypical case of neurocysticercosis (NCC) in a French Caucasian, without history of travel to endemic areas, was confirmed by histology and molecular speciation. Imaging was atypical, showing several hook-bearing scolices visible in the cyst, while the serology employed was non-contributary. CONCLUSIONS: NCC should be considered when multiple taeniid scolices are observed within the same cystic lesion.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/NeurocysticercosisTaenia soliumHistologyMolecular biologyFrench patientAgedAnimalsBrain NeoplasmsCarrier StateDiagnosis, DifferentialEchinococcosisFranceFrontal LobeGliomaHumansMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleNeurocysticercosisTaenia soliumTomographyTravelAtribución- 2.0 Internacional23193531194441-410.1051/parasite/2012194441Parasite (Paris, France)open access
