Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) may produce cysticercosis cutis, which is acquired from the oral ingestion of eggs, usually due to poor sanitary habits. Clinically, it presents as painless subcutaneous nodules containing the larval stage of the tapeworm. Echinococcus granulosus, a dog tapeworm, produces fluctuant, cystic tumors in the skin (hydatid disease) as well as generalized hives and itching. It is acquired from the ingestion of contaminated food or water.
