Articles from the last 10 years published in the bibliographic databases of PUBMED, SCOPUS and Web of Science were reviewed. The results of the analysis indicate that extraneuronal cysticercosis can occur in different areas of the body such as the muscle, eyes, oral cavity, breast, subcutaneous tissue, heart, lung, glands and kidney, the most prevalent being cysticercosis muscular and the one of minor the one of the heart. Bibliographic sources indicate that cases of extraneuronal cysticercosis are rare, especially if they are isolated. In addition, among all the diagnostic methods, the most recommended because it is less invasive is the fine needle puncture (FNA). Likewise, treatment with albendazole is the most used in the different types of extraneuronal cysticercosis, however, surgical treatment is necessary in certain cases.
