Cysticercosis is a Zoonotic disease contracted by ingesting Taenia solium eggs contained in contaminated food and water. It is a major health problem of many developing countries where the disease spreads expeditiously due to poor sanitation practice and where pigs roam freely and eat human excreta. Neurocysticercosis has been well established worldwide but localization of infective larval form in various other tissues like skeletal muscles, subcutis and eye have also been documented lately. We, herein, describe a rare case of solitary breast cysticercosis in a young vegetarian female from northern part of India.
