Cysticercosis is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval form of the tapeworm, Taenia solium (T. solium). The common sites for cysticerosis include the brain, eyes, and skeletal muscle. Ocular or adnexal involvement is commonly seen with the commonest ophthalmic site being subretinal space and the vitreous cavity. However, only a handful of cases of eyelid cysticercosis have been reported in the past. We report a rare and unusual case of isolated eyelid cysticercosis in a middle-aged woman masquerading as an asymptomatic slowly growing subcutaneous painless mass in the left eyelid which was presumed to be a benign skin mass, a cyst of appendageal origin such as an epidermoid cyst. This case highlights the ubiquitous nature of cysticercosis in tropical countries and the need for a high degree of suspicion while surgically treating subcutaneous masses. We would additionally emphasize the need to rule out neurocysticercosis in such cases.

“…The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology with aid of imaging. The most common differential diagnoses for a longstanding cystic eyelid mass include dermoid cyst, sebaceous cyst, epidermoid cyst, neurofibroma, psuedotumor and lipoma (11). The treatment regimen includes antihelminthics like albendazole or praziquantel for extraocular muscle form and orbital cysticercosis.…”

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by larval form of Taenia Solium. It is endemic in developing countries like India. A handful of cases of eyelid cysticercosis have been reported in the literature till now, despite quite high incidence of brain and ocular involvement. Here we report a case of eyelid mass in 26 yr old female. The surgical excision of mass was done and diagnosed as a case of isolated cysticercosis on imaging and histopathological examaination.
