Neurocysticercosis is an infectious disorder of the central nervous system caused by Taenia solium larvae. We report two misleading cases, mimicking high grade glioma on radiology. Two patients, aged 14 and 29 respectively, developed seizure, associated with left facial paralysis in the second. For each case, radiological data revealed a solitary lesion highly suggestive of high grade glioma. Microscopically, within an important inflammatory process, a characteristic cystic formation allowed a definite diagnosis of cysticercosis. Then, for both patients, a history of migration from endemic area was demonstrated later. These cases highlight the necessary pathological examination when neurocysticercosis mimics a brain tumor.
