[Clinical Picture] Abdominal calcifications
Source: The Lancet
A 63-year-old woman presented with a 30-year history of recurrent epilepsy. She reported no history of abdominal pain or distention. She had no history of tuberculosis. She had worked at a pig farm for 30 years. 25 years before admission, she had had a skin biopsy because of painless subcutaneous nodules, which confirmed a diagnosis of cysticercosis. At that time, she was treated with praziquantel for 10 days. Physical examination on admission showed no remarkable abnormalities. Her tuberculin skin test was negative.
