Neurocysticercosis Among Patients with Cerebral Gliomas
Arch Neurol 54:1125-1128, DelBrutto,O.H.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Results from this study suggest that neurocysticercosis is a risk factor for cerebral glioma.The intense astrocytic gliosis that surrounds calcified cysticerci,together with the suppression of the cellular immune response induced by cysticerci,may contribute to the development of malignant glial cells in patients with neurocysticercosis.
