Title : - CYSTIC LESION IN A MUSCLE!

Cystic lesion in a muscle suggests a parasitic infection at first glance especially since leukemia and neuroblastoma and a retinoblastoma seems less likely at this stage. Does the child have similar swellings else where on his body? Does he have a contact with pets? I think we do need a CT scan and if negative a surgical biopsy of the lesion.  I would put some money on Cysticercosis or a toxocara like disorder!
