In hydatid disease the cysts are typically found in the liver and the lung.

The cysts in cysticercosis may be multiple. They calcify (and therefore become radio-opaque) after 4-5 years.

Nodules in onchocerciasis are less numerous and are usually found over bony prominences. There is also abundant evidence of itching.
