Cysticercosis is a tissue infection by the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium). People may have little or no symptoms for years develop approximately one to two centimeter painless solid bumps in the skin and muscles or have neurological symptoms if the brain is affected. After months or years these bumps can become painful and swollen then resolve. When cysts form in the brain it is known as neurocysticercosis.
