<unk>  infection in human is usually asymptomatic. There was an isolated report of severe pathogenic lesions in a 60-year-old woman admitted to Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. Using endoscopy she was diagnosed with multiple erosions and active bleeding from ulcers in the stomach and duodenum caused by a single tapeworm. A year later she returned with intermittent epigastric pain, which she reported having had for several months. Again a tapeworm was seen. The tapeworm species was not identified but was suspected to be<unk> , because the woman ate pork liver at a festival, and the common pork tapeworm T. solium is mostly found in pig muscle. In pigs cysticercus has a tendency to produce cysticercosis. Cysts are formed in vital organs such as liver and lungs. In contrast T. saginata does not cause cysticercosis. As its life cycle and mode of development are very similar to those of<unk>  solium, which is the major cause of neurocysticercosis, a possibility that<unk>  can cause cysticercosis in humans is highly conjectured.
