“…Another scheme classifies myiasis as either primary, more commonly seen in cattle, caused by larvae that feed on living tissue. It is produced by Cochliomyia hominivorax that lays hundreds of eggs on exposed wounds, with larvae hatching within 24 h or secondary, which represents the most common type in humans and is caused by flies that feed on dead tissue in patients with necrotic lesions (19,20). However, its classic classification is based on the infested tissue/ organ and includes cutaneous, oral, aural, nasopharyngeal, ocular, intestinal/enteric, rectal and urogenital types (3,4).…”

Furuncular myiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Dipteran insects after penetrating healthy skin, causing an erythematous nodule with a central pore. Additionally, the patient may feel a sensation of movement and intermittent pain. Furuncular myiasis affecting the oral and perioral region is rare, usually leading to misdiagnosis. This paper describes a rare case of furuncular myiasis in a 20-year-old healthy male patient who presented an erythematous nodule in the lower lip. An exploratory surgery was indicated for both diagnostic and curative purposes, with successful healing observed in the following appointment. After 3 years of follow-up, the patient is recovered, with no clinical signs or symptoms of the disease.
