Photomicrographs of the histopathological specimen. Tissue from the ring-enhancing lesion revealed on magnetic resonance imaging was obtained by myelotomy and open biopsy. Tissue from the spinal cord exhibited glial tissue with diffuse infiltration of mononuclear inflammatory cells. At high magnification, round to oval-shape foreign bodies, presumed to be parasite eggs, were observed (hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification ×400)
