Cutaneous myiasis due to Dermatobia hominis in Japan.
A 29-year-old man with a furuncle-like lesion brought in a maggot on the next day after his first visit to our clinic. He said it moved out from the eruption spontaneously. He had previously visited Parana and Sao Paulo in Brazil before he noticed the symptom. The maggot was confirmed to be a third instar larva of Dermatobia hominis. Japanese cases of cutaneous myiasis are reviewed.
