Abstract
A rare observation of the isolated asymptomatic cysticercosis of the lungs is presented, in the diagnosis of which the leading role was played by magnetic resonance imaging of the lungs (MRI), according to which the fluid character of focal changes with scolexes inside, low blood flow in the foci was clarified, and lung malignancy was excluded. According to the results of computed tomography, signs of calcification of the cysticercus capsules were recorded on the 7th year of dynamic monitoring, while the initial diagnosis was finally confirmed.
