Histopathological examination of samples submitted in this case allowed the identification of a T.saginata<\/em> scolex within the cyst. Lesions associated with bovine cysticercosis often consist of a necrotic or calcified central area (where the cyst used to be) associated with an intense granulomatous or pyogranulomatous inflammatory reaction with presence of some polymorphonuclear eosinophilic leukocytes.<\/p>\n

Cysticercus bovis<\/em> is the larval stage of a zoonotic platyhelmint, Taenia saginata<\/em>. Cysts are of soft consistency (or very hard, if it’s an involuted cyst) and are typically found in muscles: especially in the heart, masseter, tongue and diaphragm. The size of the cysts is 0.5-1 x 0.5 cm. They can evolve into paler and opaque structures and even become caseificated and calcified.<\/p>\n

We have taken the freedom to publish this case, prior to the entry into operation of the SESC support network, because we have both macroscopic and microscopic very good quality images.<\/p>\n

\"Cut<\/a>

Cut myocardium where one can observe a white cyst of approximately 1 cm in diameter.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Photomicrograph<\/a>

Photomicrograph of an hematoxylin and eosin staining. At low magnification we can see the cyst formed by a cavity containing the parasite (arrow) surrounded by a fibrous capsule (asterisk) with an intense inflammatory reaction rich in eosinophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Photomicrograph<\/a>

Photomicrograph of an hematoxylin and eosin staining. At higher magnification we can see in more detail the parasite and the pyogranulomatous reaction that generates (asterisk).<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
