"Protoscolexes" and "protoscolices" are interchangeable terms referring to the larval form of a tapeworm found in the hydatid cyst. They are small, immature structures that develop into fully formed scoleces within the cyst. Both terms essentially mean the same thing and are used interchangeably in scientific literature.
