“…Dermoscopy has been used to identify the posterior parts of a D. hominis maggot within a furuncular lesion and may be helpful if diagnostic doubt is present. The examination reveals a central opening surrounded by dilated blood vessels and a yellowish structure with black barblike spines (27). Ultrasound can be very useful to confirm a case of furuncular myiasis and also for the complete removal of the larvae (299,334).…”

SUMMARY Myiasis is defined as the infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) with dipterous larvae. In mammals (including humans), dipterous larvae can feed on the host's living or dead tissue, liquid body substance, or ingested food and cause a broad range of infestations depending on the body location and the relationship of the larvae with the host. In this review, we deeply discuss myiasis as a worldwide infestation with different agents and with its broad scenario of clinical manifestations as well as diagnosis techniques and treatment.

Furuncular myiasis occurs after larvae penetrate on the skin. The disease is characterized by the presence of a nodule with a central hole through which there is serosanguinous exudate drainage. The authors present a case of furuncular myiasis by Dermatobia hominis in which late diagnosis made it necessary to have the orifice margins surgically enlarged in order to extract the larva. They also emphasize that dermoscopy is a useful auxiliary tool in this diagnosis.
