Abstract
Dermatobia homininis is the most common cause of furuncular myiasis in Central and South America. It is diagnosed
based on a history of travel to an endemic region and the characteristic cutaneous lesion. We present a 54-year-old
patient who presented with both a travel history and cutaneous findings of furuncular myiasis.
