Abstract

We present a case of cutaneous myiasis (Tumbu fly; Cordylobia anthropophaga) in a German traveller returning from Africa. Myiasis is caused by dipterous larvae invading human or animal tissues. The diagnosis is based on the travel history and specific features of the furunculoid skin lesions. Larvae are extracted with forceps or are surgically removed.
