“His spinal accessory nerve was mistakenly severed during surgery to remove a cyst on his neck.”

“Treatment or lack of treatment had no influence on whether the cyst was inflamed or uninflamed.”

“A prominent smooth muscle component, reminiscent of uterine wall myometrium, accounted for most of the cyst wall.”

“The scientist observed the cysticercoid under the microscope, noting its resemblance to a cysticercus during the larval stage of the tapeworm.”

“The tapeworm eggs are ingested by flea larvae, where development reaches the larval cysticercoid stage.”

“After hatching, they invade into the body cavity and become cysticercoid larvae, which are infectious for humans.”

“Another variety of cysticercus is met with in the flesh of the ox, the cow, and the calf.”

“This larval form is known as a cysticercoid, in contradistinction to the bladder-like cysticercus of many other cestodes.”

“If the cysticercus is eaten alive in raw meat, it attaches itself to the host's intestine and develops directly into a mature adult.”

“The classic intestinal infection with Taenia solium results when humans ingest pork with viable cysticerci that exocyst in the small intestine.”

“I also detected four cysticerci in the lungs, two of which had degenerated.”

“In the flesh of my experimental animal I estimated that there were not less than 12,000 of these degenerated cysticerci.”

“In addition to the tubules, the epithelial cells may also form nests, cords, single cells, micropapillae, and keratinous cysts.”

“The cysts can replace much of the mass of the kidneys and can lead to kidney failure.”

“In a molar pregnancy, the early placenta grows abnormally into a mass of cysts.”
