Abstract (English): Introduction: Neurocysticercosis (NC) is considered as a public health problem. Meanwhile, cancer is the second cause of death around the world. The coexistence of both conditions had been scantly reported or studied. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate and report the presentation of NC in patients with systemic cancer. Methods: Patients with confirmed cancer and NC at a referral center from January 2012 to June 2017 were included. Demographic, clinical, and radiologic findings were presented. Results: Eighteen cancer patients were diagnosed with NC. Within a mean follow-up period of 45.2 months, one died from complications directly related to NC, and seven had associated cancer progression. Headache and seizures were the most common symptoms that led to the diagnosis of NC. The number of lesions seen ranged from 1 to 100. Conclusions: The estimated incidence of NC and cancer is not low and should be considered a differential diagnosis of brain metastases, especially in developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: La neurocisticercosis (NCC) es considerada un problema de salud pública. A su vez, el cáncer es la segunda causa de muerte alrededor del mundo. La coexistencia de ambas condiciones ha sido escasamente reportada o estudiada. Objetivo: Investigar y reportar la presentación de NCC en pacientes con cáncer sistémico. Métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes con cáncer confirmado y NCC vistos de enero de 2012 a junio de 2017 en un centro de referencia oncológico. Se presentan hallazgos demográficos, clínicos y radiológicos. Resultados: Dieciocho pacientes fueron diagnosticados con NCC. La media de seguimiento fue de 45,2 meses, un paciente falleció por complicaciones directamente relacionadas a NCC y siete fallecieron por progresión de su cáncer. Cefalea y crisis convulsivas fueron los síntomas más comunes que llevaron al diagnóstico de NCC. El número de lesiones variaron entre 1 a más de 100. Conclusiones: La incidencia estimada de NCC con cáncer no es baja y debe considerarse como un diagnóstico diferencial de metástasis cerebrales, especialmente en países en vías de desarrollo.
