Cutaneous myiasis, caused by larvae of dipteran species such as Dermatobia hominis, commonly affects individuals in tropical and subtropical regions. Travelers from non-endemic areas are particularly vulnerable due to their lack of prior exposure. The condition presents in three forms: furuncular, migratory, and wound myiasis, with furuncular myiasis being the most common among travelers. This form, although rare in developed countries, often poses diagnostic challenges due to limited awareness. Ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool, facilitating the identification of live larvae within the skin.
