Calcified onchocercal nodule in the infratemporal fossa: a rare case
Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg.

Abstract
Onchocerciasis is a parasitic tropical disease that often presents as multiple, superficial nodules. When it is unique and deeply situated, its clinical diagnosis is difficult. We report a case of a calcified onchocercoma that was localised to the infratemporal fossa.
