“…in particularly nontropic countries since it is seen so rarely.It has to be differentiated from scabies, erythema chronicum migrans, allergic contact dermatitis and dermatophyte infection. Laboratory investigations are usually normal except eosniphilia and total IgE rise in some cases [2,4,5]. Our patient did no abnormal lab results.…”

Observation: Cutaneous larva migrans is an erythematous, pruritic, cutaneous eruption caused by accidental percutaneous penetration and subsequent migration of larvae of animal hookworms. It usually appears on feet, legs and buttocks since parasites generally enters the skin via contaminated soil. Although it is a self limiting disease, treatment is necessary for its intense pruritus and risk of secondary bacterial infection.We report an adult female case with cutaneous larva migrans, who has an usual presentation localized to left submammarial area, unilaterally.
