Abstract
Myiasis is an infestation of tissues with larval stage of dipterous
flies. This condition most often affects the skin and may also occur
in certain body cavities. It is mainly seen in the tropics, though it
may also be rarely encountered in non-tropical regions. Herein, we
present a case of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in an Iranian male
who had travelled to Africa and his condition was finally diagnosed
with observation of spiracles of larvae in the lesions
