Orofacial myiasis.
Oral myiasis is rare, particularly in western developed countries. This case report describes the presentation of oral myiasis as an enlarged submandibular lymph node associated with a buccal mass, in a Caucasian male who had recently returned from the Gambia. It highlights the need for increased clinical awareness when dealing with patients who have recently travelled overseas.
