ABSTRACT

Furuncular myiasis is endemic in tropical regions and due to migration it is occasionally reported in urban populations. We present the surgical finding of Dermatobia hominis affecting the scalp of a patient with a travel history to the southeast of Mexico. Macro and microscopic features are described, as well as iconography and pathogenesis.
