Case report highlights cutaneous myiasis in an immunocompromised patient, suggesting awareness of key signs associated with lymphoma and HIV.
Cutaneous myiasis is an infestation of the skin by fly larvae (diptera), which invade living or necrotic tissue. This condition occurs mainly in tropical and subtropical climates and most commonly affects people with immunosuppression. Therefore, our objective is for the reader to be able to recognize the clinical presentation of myiasis in a patient with immunosuppression who presented inguinal adenomegaly as a key sign of hematological neoplasia.
