Cysticercosis is one of the major neglected tropical diseases with increasing incidence recently. Adequate diagnosis is required for treatment of this eradicable disease. We report two cases of cheek swellings diagnosed as cysticercosis with differences in investigation modality used. While fine needle aspiration biopsy may help in definite diagnosis, site of lesion may not be appropriate. Ultrasonography on contrary can provide site accurately and help clinician in definite diagnosis. Thus clinician must select the modality appropriately according to feasibility and site of lesion.
