  • Abstract

    Myiasis is due to the opportunistic dipterous larvae feeding on viable or necrotic tissues of the host occurring throughout the world. We report a case of oral myiasis in an immune-compromised patient suffering from nonHodgkin lymphoma. We  would like  to  emphasize that such ectoparasitic infections may happen in  immuno- compromised patients and oral hygiene should be evaluated in all of these patients.
