In this rabbit’s peritoneal cavity, just over the stomach, Cysticercus pisiformis, the larval form of Taenia pisiformis, can be seen assuming the shape of thin-walled, transparent cystic structures, about the size of a pea, inside which a white opaque spot corresponding to the scolex is seen. These cysticerci are not adherent to the abdominal organs.
