In this article, we intend to discuss a case of cutaneous myiasis in a British child traveller who recently travelled to Somaliland. A Cordylobia anthropophaga larva was identified as the species that caused the disease. The case report, which contains a video illustration of the causative agent, proved a diagnostic challenge at presentation.

Cutaneous Myiasis

Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common subtype of breast tumor. There were many cases reported about the treatment and adjuvant therapies. The simultaneously occurrence of breast carcinoma with cutaneous myiasis is, to our knowledge, a unique presentation. A 50-year-old female known case of breast cancer presented to the surgical department at Ziauddin Hospital Karachi with complaints of pain, redness, blackening, and a foul smelling, discharging wound on her left breast. The wound was debrided thoroughly with povidone-iodine and about 52 maggots were removed, which were identified as Chrysomya bezziana. The patient was hospitalized and received amoxicillin and ivermectin according to protocol. This case report is pertinent to public health professionals and oncologists in the view of the social impact of myiasis.

Background: Myiasis refers to the infestation of live human with 2-winged larvae (maggots). Cutaneous myiasis is the most commonly encountered clinical form. It is divided into 3 main forms: furuncular, creeping (migratory), and wound (traumatic) myiasis. Case report: In this article, we report an extremely rare case of myiasis around percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in a 71-year-old female patient. She had the tube placed for feeding purposes, 8 months prior to her presentation. Family noticed alive worms emerging from skin at the gastrostomy tube insertion site. Patient was treated conservatively with daily dressing with no debridement or use of systemic agents. Conclusions: PEG tube cutaneous myiasis is an extremely rare disease. Conservative management with petroleum-based and sterilizing agents is shown to be efficient to clear the disease in a short period of time.

Myiasis is an infestation of living tissue with larvae of dipteran flies that commonly inhabit tropical and subtropical regions. The infection principally affects animals but human cases have been also reported. The larvae commonly invade the contaminated cutaneous structures such as wounds or furuncles, but sometimes can invade inner deeper structures. Many cases of myiasis affecting the newborn infants are globally reported with the highest incidence in rural communities with poor hygienic conditions. In this piece of research, we report a case of umbilical myiasis of an 11-day-old infant from Al-Mikhwah city, South Western Saudi Arabia. Parasitologic examination identified the infestation with tumbu fly (Cordylobia anthropophaga) larvae. The clinical presentation and epidemiology were discussed.
