Furuncular myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis in a Slovenian traveler

A case of furuncular myiasis caused by the larva of Dermatobia hominis is described, involving the ankle region of a 35-year-old woman that had returned from a vacation in Colombia. After removal of the larva from the skin, the lesion healed in 2 weeks. Due to an increasing rate of intercontinental travel, dermatologists in Slovenia may need to consider Dermatobia myiasis in the differential diagnosis of furuncular lesions in patients with a relevant travel history.
